Communication via Satellite

I believe the most important thing to be studying right now is satellite radio. Radio is one of the most important mediums of communication. It can do things that tv can't, in making you think and using your imagination. Radio, being a major factor in mass communication, is changing rapidly. Because so many stations are today being bought out by bigger companies, many people are switching to satellite radio (ie XM, Sirius). By doing this people can switch from over 200 stations with something different on everyone. I think that if we start using this technology more and more, people will continue to use it and it can become one of the biggest sources of mass communication out there, next to television and the internet. Because it's from a satellite, and not a tower transmitter, people would be able to tune in to something from anywhere in the world, making it very user friendly and accessible to everyone.
