That's a good bit of data, David ... and since it's my contest and I set the 
rules, I'm going to enter my own guess ... though if I win, I'll oinate my 
ski pass and lunch prize to whoever comes in second ... like him or hate 
him, Stern's done well over the years, as has Mel Karmazin, who has to again 
sign Howard's checks.  I'm better that Sirius will add a million subscribers 
over the next 45 days, minimum, and on top of that, XM's growth rate will 
slow correspondingly.  Further, by summer I'm betting Sirius and XM will be 
neck and neck in installed base.  Anyone who doesn't believe that epole will 
pay a few cents a day for content they enjoy should seel their CATV and HOB 
stocks.... pay-radio's not going to be any different.

And ... they're OFF!  :-)
