Strangely, the introduction of the Patent Application uses the old/original Sirius compnay name: CD Radio... why?
Was it found in a drawer and applied for only now?
"The company was founded in 1990. It was formerly known as Satellite CD Radio, Inc. and changed its name to CD Radio, Inc. in 1992. Further, the company changed its name to Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc. in 1999. Sirius Satellite Radio is headquartered in New York, New York."
Oops ... hit 'send' too soon.
I was referring to page 6 of the .pdf, §§§ [0006] .
Also the music titles selected in the figures suggest living in the 90-ties: Foreigner, Heart, Bread.
