What future market??

The company's squandering it's money ($50 million to oprah for a half hours show every week) while not turning profits, one of their CEO's or COO's recently resigned because of this. Their contracts with car manufacturers are ending and most of them are now offering sirius. Their current subscribers are cancelling to the point that XM will lower your bill to $3 a month, AND give you a free new receiver just to keep you. Oh, and they're just putting Opie and Anthony back on regular radio so there's really nothing you can get with XM over anywhere else. There simply is no exclusive content. And don't forget all the sports!

The only reason i'd tell someone to keep their xm is if they already had it and could get their bill reduced by threatening to cancel, just to "expand" on their music selsction. Otherwise, Sirius is the way to go.
