There. I just fixed it. Apparently I cannot upload an XLS file on to this site.

Wow Brandon, nice work. This is good news. Where the hell are you getting the retail figures? And the deactivations also?

I would hope so. Install rates have increased.

Retail is estimated. Let's just say I low-balled the deactivations on the many posts that claimed sirius was sending out warning letters but not deactivating people. I happen to have been one of them. I took care of my bill though before the end of the month, but I think they let "a few" go until the quarter ended..

that would be good news for sure, and asia is up big right now, hopefully it carries over tommorow in the us and siri can get off it's ass and take part.

needless to say guys, I'm exhausted after that. Now I have to figure out how to make an article on it tomorrow.

Work late. Drink coffee. Take one for the team!!! If your accurate, then are you not retracting your negative sub prediction for 09 now? If penetration rates are where you say they are, Obama's car incentive program, might combine to just squeak out a net gain for the year. Id be impressed with just 500k for the entire year. Still think its 50-50 on adding positive subs for the year. I would be happy with just not losing any in this year of crap. Although if the Iphone app was sucessful, and it does launch, etc... I suppose I might have to amend my prediction. Thats the wild card here. And how many cancelled due to internet charge. We have no clue right now on these topics.

I'm a lot more bullish with the Obama Drama plan. Some estimates are now calling for over 14 million units to be sold this year. That puts sirius well into the black.
