Re: [Swprograms] CBC on XM Satellite Radio

["Richard Cuff" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The general stuff I read suggests both XM and Sirius -- perhaps the CHUM
proposal as well -- are likely to have their proposals accepted in some form
by the CRTC.

will prove useless at far northern latitudes.  The satellites will be below
the horizon more than 81 degrees north latitude and too low to use at much
lower latitudes.  The author of the NYT article was apparently unaware of
that physical constraint because he did not ask how XM planned to overcome
that problem.  In Canada Sirius will have a definite advantage because of
its elliptical Molinya orbit plan.
