Do you have satellite radio?

I love my satellite radio, I have to say. I've been a Sirius subscriber for years, and I can't imagine driving any distance at all without satellite in my SUV.

When you buy a new SUV or crossover, almost every one now comes with the option of adding satellite radio to the package. The thought of paying for radio was an absurd one a few years ago, now it seems like a necessity. How quickly technology moves ahead.

Now the next wave of integration is happening, with satellite radio working with navigation systems to provide instant road condition information. Soon, we'll all be routing and rerouting based on satellite telemetry. It'll happen sooner than you think.

By the way, that's a picture of Walt "Clyde" Frazier, the coolest man ever to play in the NBA, being interviewed at the Sirius headquarters a short while ago. He's still cool.
