>> Great!! More "subscribers" that "Never wanted the service, Never once asked for the service, and Never intended to paid for it" Yes, 40-45%, that's correct. The other 55-60% will become subscribers who will be around for an extended period of time. In particular, Lexus/Infiniti (and other luxury car) owners are apt to view the $13/month as inconsequential and have no reason to drop it, ever. Of course, if this lame-brained merger goes through, it hardly matters -- XM will be dragged down by SIRI's lousy performance. But that's a different story. Hopefully, FCC will stop it before it kills BOTH companies.
