And are you saying that IBiquity wants and intends to remain
unprofitable?


It's a developmental startup.


Satellite radio began development in the early 90's, and is losing about
a
billion dollars a year... yet the companies involved believe they can be
profitable in the future and give value to the shareholders.


Right. It's about the money.


Without money, there is no free radio. You can always pay $150 a year for
satellite... because that is the satellite model, also about money. One gets
ad revenues, the other charges the listeners. Your choice.

Ohhhh....so THAT'S how it works. I thought Satellite Radio would pay
me to pay terrestrial station managers directly. Wow, that's so
interesting...
