Daniel Say graced hard-core-dx.com with these words of wisdom:

I just heard a report someplace claiming that XM has recently passed the 4 
million subscriber mark.  That 0.5% sounds decidedly wrong, unless most of 
the people listening to satellite radio are in rural areas and smaller 
cities.  After all, those 87 markets mentioned above only cover about 2/3 
of the US population.

Then again, it could be that all those 4 million subscribers are Canadians 
trying to get around the CRTC's asinine policy of trying to tell the 
Canadian people what they should want.  :-)
