Is this still news? I don’t get it, anytime there’s a shareholders conference someone will ask about the combination of Satellite Radio with the iPod (Zzzz), and everytime the question gets answered with “Well, we’re looking into it, but there’s no deal yet.”

And everytime the media freaks out about it and makes it a big deal. Which then sparks a storm of ridiculous speculation. Enough already.

Business 2.0 interview with Hugh Panero. Whether you’re an XM fan, or a SIRIUS fan, you gotta love his attitude. Great read, highly recommended.

Edmunds has a quick tidbit on the potential for in-car video and “invisible” antennas.

Invisible antennas definitely have a market - but in-car video is still something I’m a little skeptical on. The idea is great, but it all depends on how it’s implemented.

Time Magazine has a facinating article about the anti-localizing effects of Satellite Radio. Very well written and holds true an interesting point. There is a bit of disconnect now without any local content.

OK, so I missed this one amidst all the 4 million hubbub yesterday, but Reuters dropped this little bit of “news” about wireless carriers about offering some form of its radio service on mobile phones. Hugh doesn’t really go into details, just says that the cell companies are in search of more content and they’ve been in talks. We learned back in December that Panero expects satellite radio to be in cell phones within 5 years, who knows if that will be become a reality sooner than we thought.

The Wall Street Journal has a video interview with Jim Kramer and Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin. I was able to access it without a WSJ Online account - not sure how long that is gonna last - so I hope no one else encounters any problems.

Video is in two parts: Part I, Part II

Pretty interesting interview. Highly recommended.
