I'd been testing for the past month and loved it. I think Sirius has made many strategic errors not the least of which is to ignore the mobile market (and I don't count their overpriced limited channel offerings via ATT), tie their success to the auto industry and create what I believe is a billing scam that makes it tough to leave the service once you've signed up.

I wonder if it's the potential for a lawsuit or the potential for SiriusXM to go into bankruptcy? This is unfortunate.
