If the merged company can guarantee customers of both can get all of the channels of the combined service for $12.99/mo and freeze that rate for x amount of years, I think the FCC would approve it.
It's not a monopoly technically, because there's still AM and FM. However, having free TV still available didn't stop cable TV prices from doubling over the past decade either. I for one don't plan on paying any more than $13/mo and if they kill any of my Sirius channels that I listen to, I will disconnect all 5 of my radios. They better think long and hard about this merger or they're going to lose a lot of customers.

i'm hoping they don't approve the merger. each time there's a important merger expenditures flow up because of fact opposition is going down. additionally i don't choose Mel Karmazin working XM. The f*cker positioned a gag order on Opie and Anthony back whilst they and Stern have been working for an analogous corporation. i'm hoping the FCC does the impressive element and promotes opposition and loose markets, yet I worry that they are sh*td*cks who will approve the merger to boost inventory value.

I really don't think so...that would result in a monopoly situation since they are the only 2 companies in satellite radio
