Satellite Radio and Wal-Mart

Just a few thoughts about things the two have in common:

• Wider selection of goods than available from local alternatives.
• Pressure on local businesses.

Differences:

• Wal-Mart offers cheap prices, satellite radio replaces a free service with a monthly charge.
• Wal-Mart is a mature company, large enough to dominate several lines of business. Satellite radio is in its infancy.
• Liberals hate Wal-Mart and love satellite radio.
