So I was just thinking about the worldwide market for Sirius Online and wow that seems like an avenue that Sirius could cheaply attract many internatonal folks and immediately add to cash flow. Does anyone know if there is some planned marketing to get people hooked up online across the world? Just seems like an easy way to feed the kitty
I should hope they are palnning something. I just wonder about their current internet config. bandwidth. I have heard tons about what satellites could or couldn't do but never anything about internet feeds. Maybe someone could elaborate.
SIRIUS XM on-line listening is 128k (u need a high-speed-connection to listen)Quote:

the up-link sends it to a outter space SAT above the earth , and at the same time, the server sends it out over the internet for streaming @ 32K Low bandwidth or 128K High bandwidth ,the internet will allow other countries that cannot get a US-SAT-SIGNAL to hear what SIRIUS XM has to offer us hear in the US, so, this is a very good thing......however, to get this internet stream, IT'S NOT FREE........like most internet streaming is
This is a Very Important distinction in terms of the Markets that it will be available.... Broadband Everywhere is still a goal for this Country.... It will only be available in Countries or Cities within Countries where Broadband is established... Better than nothing but still not "World Wide" as they say...Quote:

Dial Up will work, but only @32k, you need boardband to hear 128K, I don't thinkQuote:
