Those who follow the fortunes of satellite radio may find the CES "Day One"
account to be interesting.
I wonder if the upcoming Eton (Grundig USA) E1XM uses the new "single chip"
solution mentioned in the CES article.
It would be interesting to find out how many listeners have discovered
international broadcasting -- at least the BBC or the WRN -- by purchasing a
satellite radio and then finding the BBCWS or WRN.
