About a month or more ago,I read somewhere on the intenet (if it's on
the internet,it must be true,but I dont think so) that U.S.Military is
going to use (now I forget if it's Sitius or XM) one of those for hand
held communications units for our U.S.Troops.Of course (according to the
article I read) the units/radios will be specially designed ruggedized
versions to be distributed to our Troops.y'all know how to look it up if
y'all want to.

That was XM. I doubt it'll happen because XM receivers use huge
amounts of power. Plus, the single-hub topography makes it really
easy to ''take out''.
