Detroit - If you were wondering just where a post-merger Sirius XM
satellite
radio is headed, think content and features, rather than platform
harmonization. At least that's the message company CEO Mel Karmazin seemed
to
send in his keynote address to a group of auto executives at the
Convergence
2008 conference recently in Detroit.
In an article in Automotive News, re****ter Patricia Scott says Karmazin
told
his audience that unification of Sirius XM's delivery/receiver technology
is
probably 10 to 15 years out, given chip development time, and slow
automaker
adoption curves. That's a considerable elongation of a timeline floated
just
months ago when the CEO was wooing regulators to sign off on a Sirius
buyout
of its former rival.

"10 to 15 years out"--that translates into "forget about it", doesn't it?
