The result is that there are many people to thank, both here and in the chapter notes at the end of the book. First, the person other than me who worked the hardest, my wife, Anne. No project like this could be done without a strong partner. Anne was all that and more. Her constant support and understanding made this possible, and the price was significant, from all the Sundays taking care of the kids while I worked at Starbucks to the lost evenings, absent vacations, nights out not taken, and other costs of an all-consuming project.

  • XM Mulls Betting the Bank for Subscriber Growth
    [Medianews] Canada: XM mulls betting the bank for subscriber growth The challenge: Establish a profile in satellite radio to attract subscribersThe call: Ramp up spending to steal market share away from Sirius, without blowing the budget GRANT ROBERTSON Globe & Mail Media Reporter http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20060318.RDECISION18/TPStory/Business Important decisions made over breakfast usually involve white toast or brown, decaf or regular. But when XM Canada founder John Bitove Jr. called his chief operating officer Stephen Tapp to a morning meeting at a diner in Toronto last year, there was a bigger choice on the menu for the startup satellite radio company. Around the corner from the restaurant was an old bank vacated by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The spot was ideal for a new business looking to stand out, serving as both an office and a giant billboard at a busy intersection. But the question was not about location, it was about money. Like many startup ventures, the cost of launching a satellite radio operation is disproportionately high in the first few years. From advertising expenses to deep discounts offered on radio receivers, the list of expenses for a new company is long. Canadian Satellite Radio Holdings Inc., operator of XM Canada, had to decide whether spending several million dollars to turn the bank into radio studios and offices was worth the cost, particularly as rival Sirius Canada was opting to go without a similar standalone facility to broadcast from. The decision was made to gamble on the bank. The building, which is scheduled to be completed this month, may come with a multimillion-dollar price tag now, but it will pay for itself down the road, Mr.
