Finally. The truth comes out.

SIRI's current constellation provides reception which is too crappy to
support a wearable device and doesn't work consistently from within homes.

SIRI's "superior" constellation is now having to be "augmented" by what? A
GEO.

Damn. Old FrontMed was right. Again.

Not really Frontmed. for XM to equal the new sirius constrllation XM would
have to launch more new satellites. When sirius has its new bird in orbit
line of sight will be from the north or south for every one as well as
east or west depending on receiver location in North america. XM will still
have no signal from the north, east or west. MANY XMers
trying to receive XM when in a north east or west facing sturcture can still
have a lack of XM reception as the antenna cannot see the fucked up XM
satellites.

Don't start autofellating just yet. This is something the Doctor
(yours truly) proposed 5 years ago.
