Last week, I sent a “Thank You” letter to Hugh Panero, the CEO of XM Satellite Radio. I also copied the letter to various folks at NPR - no, of course I don’t expect it to do any good, I only wanted them to know that 1) six months down the road, some of us haven’t forgotten how badly they are managing the network, and 2) there are more and more alternatives to their network.

I enclose it here to make it a matter of public record.

To: Hugh Panero
