Comments on: Sirius Up Again; Trend Should Continue.

It would be strange to have US-radio in Europe, so I think the idea was to use Sirious technology and know-how, combined with the use of European satellites and radio-stations. I remember reading that they where planning to somehow combine the whole idea with the Galileo-project(gps and radio in one system?). So let`s hope Galileo gets back on track to see if this rumour will reach the internet again (and hopefully the headlines as siri[o]us news) I don´t think it was the plan to use existing Sirious satellites or to launch a new one.

I doubt this could be true... only because SIRIUS does not have satellites above Europe. Somebody can correct me if I am wrong... They do not have the money to launch another satellite, and start up a whole new service. Not saying that it is not an option down the road though... We shall see! Mario…

It didn't say which builders, but the only logical ones would be Mercedes and the French (probably Renault). I also remember reading that they where planning to work together with an existing sat-radio company (And the only one I've heard of is Sirious.), and probably combine this feature with the possibilities that the Galileo-project will bring. This seemed to be good news, so I bought some shares when the stock market went down. Unfortunately the galileo-project has been delayed, thanks to the crisis, and this might have delayed the sat-radio ideas. The worst part of this, is that I've never heard/read anything again concerning this matter. Even the site where this news was posted seems to have disappeared, because I can't find it anymore. Has anyone heard/read anything on this matter? I'm from the Netherlands and I don't have access to all the financial news of the US-market, so I hope someone can help me with this enigma.
