"Ford Gets More Sirius"


"Sirius Satellite Radio and Ford announced today that they are
targeting a 70% installation rate for the Ford and Mercury brand of
automobiles. Ford had previously announced that their Lincoln brand
was effectively at standard equipment. This commitment with the Ford
and Mercury brands is a substantial step for Sirius, as it brings Ford
up to a similar installation pace as Chrysler."

Old News - But Still True - Just About Every US Car
and Truck Comes With "Free" Over-the-Air AM/FM Radio
Installed as 'Basic' Factory OEM Standard Equipment.

I predict that before 2015 every 'new' US Car and Truck
sold will have an IBOC 'Compatible' "HD" AM/FM Radios as
'basic' OEM Factory Installed Standard Equipment.
-while- Satellite Radio will still be an 'option' on many.

# 1 - The "Free" Over-the-Air AM/FM Radio Broadcasters and
Advertisers will want Demand-It* to stay competitive in the
Market Place with the 'New-Media'
* Reason/Justification - In the Public Interest.

# 2 - The FCC will Mandate* that all 'new' AM/FM Radios that
are made-in or imported-into the USA by about the Year
2015 {or before} be IBOC 'Compatible' "HD" AM/FM Radios.
* That's All Car and Truck AM/FM Radios
* That's All Consumer Electronics with Built-in AM/FM Radios
* That Includings All Stand-a-Lone AM/FM Radios and
AM/FM Clock-Radios
* Reason/Justification - In the Public Interest.
