Yes it looks rediculous but seems inline with the patent they files recently:

This thing looks exactly like my INNO from the back. I love my INNO, just wondering why XM offers 3 of the same unit from different brands, INNO, HELIX and this thing....still an awsome unit either way, just hope it does somthing different. Oh and where the hell is my INNO boombox, I cant belive XM still hasnt released one.

I actually have worked for Verizon for over 10 years and have been in charge of both selling and installing FIOS, so I have a lot of knowledge about FIOS in general. I have to agree with JOSH's comments. FIOS cost between 29.99-54.99 (most markets) depending on which speed the customer chooses. THe rest of the bill (the phone portion), with a freedom or unlimited packge might run between 35 - 60 (depending on package). This is without FIOS video which might run between 35 - 90 per month. So were talking a range of 90 (w tax) - 200+ (w/o tax). That sounds like a lot, but if you see how much work and man-hours goes into getting a single fiber cable/line to supply a neighborhood, you have to give some respect to Verizon for their efforts. Remember, most of this time is American UNION labor on overtime, which is REALLY expensive. And also remember that a good portion of the bill goes towards FCC/PSC related costs and does not go towards recouping the cost of FIOS. I left Veriozn a few weeks ago to persue other career options, but I have nothing but respect fot the company for partaking on such a big project for its customers an its future. I know they arent perfect, but at the same time you dont see huge Vontage or Sprint trucks driving around.
