And what about those of us who go to Canada on a regular basis?  Will
there be radios that are capable of getting XM/SIRIUS/L-Band/Eureka, so
you'll be able to use them anywhere in the world?  Or is radio going to go
the way of analog TV with its NTSC/PAL/SECAM systems?  

I really hope not.

I like the idea that I can take my little pocket radio anywhere in the
world and not have to worry about different transmission standards.

You'd think the world would have settled on one (or two) standards.
