Could ATT CruiseCast one day be a valid competitor to satellite radio?

About a month ago, I made a post about AT&T CruiseCast competing with Sirius XM for your backseat, well it looks like AT&T will also be entering the satellite radio business. AT&T announced yesterday that AT&T CruiseCast when launched in the spring will have 22 video and 20 satellite radio channels.

AT&T CruiseCast will include 22 satellite TV channels that include the Disney Channel, Disney XD, Discovery Kids, Animal Planet, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network Mobile, USA, Comedy Central, MSNBC, CNN Mobile Live, and CNBC.

Twenty satellite radio stations will be available in Spring 2009 when the service is supposed to launch. Additionally, CruiseCast will be able to add channels to meet market demand.

Re-watch the AT&T CruiseCast video we posted last month.

Could AT&T one day be a valid competitor to Sirius XM Radio in the satellite radio business? I don't see why not. They are a large company, it’s just a matter of if they want to dedicate the resources to build that side of the business.
