You MIGHT find that info on the Quarterly or Annual reports but I am not positive since I haven't seen it. I am sure when they report revenue they would report what percentage of that is sub-based vs. marketing revenue. They MAY break that sub-based revenue down by 13 vs 7. The good news on the 6 mil is that it's reported 85% of that is sub based on retail units. I am assuming that retail units do not include pre-installed car units. Better chance of retaining the customer in that case. They predict 9 million by the end of 2006.
SIRIUS had reported they hit 3.3 mil with just over 1 million coming in during the 4th quarter. Once that Howard influx is over with, SIRIUS should settle back down to trailing XM by more than 50%
