Re: FCC leaning against; won't take much opposition to kill deal in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r18097890 en Sun, 23 Nov 2008 15:30:43 EDT Sun, 23 Nov 2008 15:30:43 EDT Re: FCC leaning against; won't take much opposition to kill deal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18097890 fiberguy : ...perhaps Sirius can file bankruptcy and end the Howard Stern contract they signed like buffoons and stop playing corporate Russian Roulette. Maybe charge more for the sports subscriptions to cover the cost of them.. you know they aren't charging what they need to in order to support the sheister money they are paying the leagues for them.

There are ways to run their systems smarter.. oh, and to cover a popular sentiment here.. let's make sure no CEO is making a multi million dollar salary either.

Then they could look for buyers.. (get ready to flame..) they could look to companies like comcast to buy one of them out.. value added service to the consumer on the cable network and then sell the service outside the home in the cars as a bundle. Would/could be a smart move..

However, since much of the content between the two of them is the same, yes.. I agree.. there really doesn't need to be two of them.

I'm a little uneasy about if this will or won't happen.. but my money is on that it won't... there is no compelling reason, as if they really need one, for these two to merge.
Neither Sirius or XM making any money is pretty compelling. They can't lose money forever. The gov't is the only entity that can run at a deficit in perpetuity.

There's only 10 types of people in this world.

One of those.. "let's send out the letter than it's a done deal, get them sold on the idea and use them as pawns in the battle ahead" tactics.

On the other side, since there are two...

'The National Association of Broadcasters, NAB, and the Consumers Union"

"The Consumers Union." I love that term on face.. as if they represent the consumer.. who, me?? I hate when these organizations form themselves and come across as MY representation. Seems EVERYONE has something to gain or loose from this, and most all, deals.

I'm a little uneasy about if this will or won't happen.. but my money is on that it won't... there is no compelling reason, as if they really need one, for these two to merge.

It won't take a lot of consumer complaining to give the FCC the leverage it needs to kill it.
