car, portable, and computer. But it is suggested that if one wants minimum expense
with maximum utilization it is best to go for home as long as you do not buy a car.

home, Satellite radio has gradually gained much popularity in almost every part of
the world. America Canada, Asia, Europe, Africa, all have accepted SR as a cool,
portable and hi-tech gadget that cannot be kept away. People are also spending good
amount of money to give a modern touch to their life by giving a makeover to their
old radio sets. Thus this satellite radio has become a growing industry oriented
business. But some critics have said that this increasing popularity of satellite
radios can led to the decrease in the numbers of local radio stations and FMs.
