It’s not often that The Portable Consultant scoops The Economist… well, not exactly but sort of…

Back in July of 2005 I suggested here that Internet options (like podcasting) would compete with satellite radio. I followed this up with a couple of posts… here… and here.

Today The Economist commented on the pending merger of XM and Sirius while noting “…the satellite-radio networks have been struggling to respond to competition from recent advances in broadcasting, such as through the Internet.”

You read it here first! …um… sort of. 🙂

UPDATE:
Shortly after posting this I was on the road and heard Todd Maffin‘s podcast on this very topic.
