Walden, NY | I'm for the merger It costs a LOT of dough to start up ANY satellite communications network, and keep it running. I myself have pondered the Sirius vs. XM question; they're both good services and a lot easier listen than commercial terrestrial FM radio and all the annoying ads. A merged, larger company will have a better chance of survival IMHO. I don't believe subscriber rates would jump; consumers would just go back to using their iPods more frequently.

| I agree with what you're saying, but I think its better to have more competition than to guarantee their survivability. The two questions that will have to be answered: Would one company lose all their customers to the other anyways? Are terrestrial broadcasters enough competition to prevent the one company from exploiting consumers? |
