[BC] sats merger

[Bill Smith]

Did anyone notice the mention of "rear seat video" from Mel This is from the
XM press release:

"Together, XM and SIRIUS will be able to improve on products such as
real-time traffic and rear-seat video and introduce new ones such as
advanced data services including enhanced traffic, weather and infotainment
offerings."

I can see the enhanced traffic offering being capable of tying into a
vehicle navigation system and delivering immediate on-screen updates or
audio updates on traffic problems
