Yes, a couple weeks ago. When Sirius reported the resignation of the director leaving to work in the Obama administration. Sirius was required to release that they were "deficient" -- and NASDAQ now...
That's a good question... the problem I see is that the launch took place after Midnight on July 1st in Kazakhstan, which is the start of Q3; but it was after 4pm in EDT, still in Q2. LOL
I do...
MEDIA ADVISORY:
ILS PROTON TO LAUNCH SIRIUS FM-5
June 23, 2009 (updated June 27, 2009)
Payload:
SIRIUS FM-5 communications satellite

Separated spacecraft mass:...

Takes a couple days for a GEO injection to get into its final orbital slot. The launch will get it pretty close - then they have to drift it into place.
Then they'll slowly power up all systems...
Launch is slated for just over 6 hours away...
2:45PM EDT today (June 30)

Remember everyone, we're talking about two different launches here -- with two different launch providers and two different companies.
Sirius and ILS is coming up next week... undoubtedly, most...
Here's the contract... this was the launch contract for XM-3 and XM-4, with an option for XM-5; which XM exercised in August of 2006. The satellite was to be delivered in 2008 and launched in early...
No, it is not. XM has always deferred final payments on their satellites until prior to launch; as well as final launch payments. XM noted this in their recent annual report, that they have deferred...
XM uses SeaLaunch... it was a joint partnership of Boeing and a few other groups. XM used them for all 4 of their launches and had contracted with them for the launch of XM-5 next year. Did XM pay...
Yes, I had based the revenue share on 50% of $12.95, but it's actually 50% of $9.99. My follow up point was that the difference only lowered my estimate from $98MM in negative burn to $91MM in...
Yes John, you are correct. But the difference to my calculations is not significant. Instead of losing $98MM in cashflow on GM installs in one year, they lose $91MM, in such a calculation change.
...
That is because Sirius pays their subsidies at the time of manufacture; XM pays the bulk of theirs at the time of sale. This was a point of discussion Tyler and I had several years ago. Sorry I...
Churn will go up... no two ways about it. Especially a $2 increase. I was contemplating canceling my second sub, because it is increasing to $8.99/month. Adding an additional $1 to it? I'm done with...
Tyler, keep in mind that if Sirius does decide to do the "pass through" expense of the SoundExchange royalty starting in August... then I estimate that it will cut approximately $150-160MM of...
XM doesn't provide the radios to GM... GM buys them from XM suppliers.
In return, GM gets a guarantee payment from XM (which XM has already paid for the term of the contract... but they are...
Funny, I went to satwaves this morning and continue to be amazed at what anyone sees in that site.
To start, Dominic/Brandon/CRFCEO wrote a fairly ignorant piece on the performance royalty bill...
Sirius and XM don't have any bandwidth to give up. Have you listened to the heavily compressed quality of the programming as it is? I couldn't imagine them giving away any more bandwidth.
...
IMHO, the answer is somewhere between August 1, 2011 and Never. The August 1, 2011 date is the 3 year anniversary of the merger; which would clear them of the Section 182 restrictions.
But I'm not...
Well, FWIW... since I posted the above comment earlier today -- Brandon has gone back and changed his story by correcting it to say the proper Bill's now, linking them back to the 111th Congressional...
It all comes back to "homer"... why me, why oh why does it always have to be me :banghead:
I know that that is the PC thing to say - and kudos to you for being willing to do it... quite frankly, with the error laden articles I read from CRFCEO, I find it hard to read anything over there...
In hindsight, I should have put two and two together... when I got into debates with Brandon (or whatever his name is), he would argue just like CRFCEO.
And it continues...
I know, I can be a...
Remember, it's actually only 600MM shares -- because of the anti-dullitive measures on Liberty's 40% guarantee from their Preferred Shares.
If there are 8BB shares outstanding (after conversion...
I realized it after I posted it -- but was too lazy to go in and fix it.
