    "According to a report by The Globe and Mail, sources within the investment banking community say that Canadian Satellite Radio and Sirius Canada have hired investment firms to help negotiate out a deal.

    XM Canada supposedly hired National Bank Financial to scope out its options, while Sirius tapped RBC Dominion Securities to represent its interests, reports The Globe and Mail."

    Beaming and streaming
    By C.M. Boots-Faubert
    January 27, 2009

    In 1992 the Federal Communications Commission allocated the 2.3GHz "S-Band" as a reserved frequency for the nationwide broadcasting of Digital Audio Radio Service, known as DARS.

    Four corporations applied for license to broadcast on DARS, while only two applications were approved by the FCC: Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio. Each company paid a license fee of more than $80 million dollars.

    In July 2008 the two companies merged after obtaining government approval to form a new company, Sirius XM Radio, with a collective customer base of over 18 million subscribers.

    Sirius XM Radio uses four satellites placed in geostationary orbit 22,220 miles above North America. Built by Boeing Aerospace, the satellites are named Rock, Roll, Rhythm, and Blues, and combined with ground repeaters placed in large cities provide blanket coverage for the entire United States.

    Satellite radio receivers are available in different forms: car radios, portable radios, and in-home appliances. Each receiver is equipped with a special computer chip and ID number that allows the radio to receive and unscramble the signal from space.

    Each channel broadcast includes the channel content and a data-stream providing content information such as song title, artist name, and the genre of music.

    Subscribers to Sirius XM Radio have access to hundreds of stations broadcasting near-CD quality music, talk, and news content, with a guarantee of no more than seven minutes of commercial content per broadcast hour.

    I do believe we will be back at .10 area again sometime today. But I am wondering if this could be the lowest it goes since its been hanging around for the past few days between .10 and .11

    If it does that is fine. I just wanted to buy some more stock. I got patience so I can wait as long as it takes to get back to that point unless Mel announces something between now and when I buy.

    I expect it to go up until Friday when I will buy more shares and then it will go back down. That seems to happen everytime I buy...
