...That, in essence, is the $500 million gamble for investors in Sirius Satellite Radio, Stern?s broadcaster come January. Sirius, as you may know, is one of two satellite radio services (the other is XM) over whose content the FCC has no jurisdiction. Each service charges $13 a month for dozens of channels of commercial-free music, talk, sports and a variety of other content.

Gary Oldman?s Sirius, the human-canine from the third film, has a bright cameo as a face in the fireplace. The movie strikes black gold with Alistair ?Mad-Eye? Moody, Hogwarts? new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Played by Brendan Gleeson with a swagger and spume not seen since Robert Newton?s Long John Silver (another charming dastard), Mad-Eye has a globular left orb that stares skeptically, maniacally, at all it surveys. He seems both amiable and deranged...
...solution is to add a $15 to $25 monthly unlimited Power Vision data package to your voice plan. There are other good reasons to get a Power Vision plan, such as streaming Sirius radio and Cartoon Network video clips on demand, but this means you have to spend a lot of money every month just to access to the music store. If the goal of any wireless music store is instant gratification, the impulse buy, why does Sprint make you plan ahead with special service?
