is when the cooperative interaction among the subsidiaries or parts of a
media corporation, creates an enhanced combined effect. This particular
combined effect includes companies such as Delphi Delco Electronics Systems,
Alpine Electronics, Clarion, Audiovox, Visteon, Pioneer, Panasonic, Sanyo,
Mororola, and Sony. (All information taken from XM Satellite

and "Roll". Despite their names, these satellites don't move;
positioned more than 22,000 miles above the earth in geostationary orbit,
their beams combine to span the entire U.S. while remaining stationary to
the land below. This enables XM's signal repeaters, keep the signal
strong in challenging locales such as urban canyons. The XM satellites' fixed orbits ensure a focused and consistent signal, eliminating broadcasting interference associated with moving satellites. Rock and Roll are the most powerful commercial satellites ever, beaming 10 
megawatts of equivalent transmitted power back to earth. They were
built by Boeing Satellites Systems, the world's leading commercial manufacturer
of satellites. Using aacPlus audio encoding by Coding Technologies, XM is
able to achieve sound quality that is remarkably close to Compact Disc.
