Goverments – Stick to what you are good at

XM and Sirius are in the process of a merger. John Kerry said that he would like to see the new units have atleast 50 channels of HD radio (which isn’t even really HD it’s just digital). Does he realize he is asking that a company open them selves up and invite the competition right in ? It’s like saying that Honda must use advertise Toyota ? Would Honda go for that ? Of course not so why should XM and Sirius have to do it ? This makes me wonder if some one is paying him off or is helping him out in some way for this. Johnny boy – stick to what your good at (which is raising taxes and making our lives out). You are not a salesman. Stop making it harder for people to earn money !!!!!

Competition is great (for the consumer…)

Here in Israel Cellular Modems were once very expensive. The rates were super high. About a year ago they dropped because of a price war. I got a card for about $75.00 and was allowed 12 gigs of transfer per month. Now a year later there is a price war between Orange and Cellcom. Orange has a plan for about $30.00 per month and allows 5 gigs of transfer. Cellcom has a plan for about $40.00 and offers unlimited. When I say unlimited I mean unlimited with no cap. I right away canceled my current plan and ordered a new card. The new cards are great as well. They are now offering 2 mBits down and 1.4 mBits up. I know I will kick myself again in a year when hopefully the rates fall even lower.
