Sirius and Sprint sign agreementWow, that’s scary - looks like my guess was dead on - SIRIUS Satellite Radio just announced they’ve signed a deal with Sprint to offer select SIRIUS content, over the Sprint network soon to be available. Right now details are still sketchy, but we’ll find out more when both Sprint and Sirius give us more specifics later this year.

Sprint’s current Internet radio service, , contains 13 channels available for $5.95/month (or for free if you’re a Vision Multimedia Services subscriber). I expect that this new deal will be a combination of MSpot and SIRIUS, but what the new service is branded under is probably still under debate.

The implications of this deal are huge. Sprint PCS has something like 26 million subscribers, with I think about 6.7 Million Vision subscribers alone. The market reach possible is pretty impressive. Factor in the Sprint-Nextel merger, the reach could get even bigger. You want huge? THIS IS HUGE.
