"And I also would mention, because I think we have mentioned this before, we had a little bit of foresight I guess at least in the design and construction of the XM 5 satellite so that we proactively designed that one to be able to address the entire satellite radio spectrum and so it covers the Sirius spectrum as well, and therefore I think on a combined basis there is an opportunity to take a little bit of the satellite CapEx that Sirius is now facing over the next couple of years and minimize that through using the XM 5 bird as a spare for that as well too."
