Re: [Swprograms] PRI Gone from Sirius

Joe's right:  It is a state secret. It's competiton.  Unless companies
believe pre-launch "buzz" creates positive advance publicity, there is
no reason to do it.

One of the reasons that these folks are motivated by the size of their
subscriber base is that they've already signed those content deals and
launched satellites.

The incremental profit from each new subscriber is significant.

It's just like Microsoft and software:  the cost of copy #1:  huge.
The cost of copy #2:  zero.

For SIRIUS to announce in advance what they were going to do could only help the competition at best and overload the in box with protests at worst.  So they just do it and see if anybody complains or unsubscribes.  My guess is that the overwhelming majority of present subscribers will hang on evn if abused because they cannot switch without buying new radios or they are in long term contracts.
