I can't live without satellite, terrestrial radio is horrible, and XM is much, much better than Sirius. I'd really prefer to pay 12 bucks a month than whatever Mel Karmazin would like to charge me for whatever he decides to program. They're really relying on the case that HD radio a) exists, and b) is everywhere, no?

I don't see any Anti-Trust concerns, the operating costs will be so much lower as far as eliminating duplicate satellites and infrastructure. This is a great day for Satellite subscribers.

So apparently the parties disagree with the FCC Chairman's contention that their licenses prohibit a merger ... or perhaps he has changed his mind? Wow!
