Back in the day when a radio license wasn't required, anyone could have a radio station. Then the FCC came along to provide direction. Unfortunately, they've missed the mark on their duty in this case. The merger will be allowed and should be allowed. The fact that a 5% market share represents any sort of monopoly in today's media is a total farce. More people are turning to IPods than satellite radio. Get off your butt FCC and address this approval! |

| If Sirius and XM radio can't abide by the terms set when they were granted their licenses, let them go bankrupt and re-organize their business strategy.
If they cannot survive, then the licenses should revert back to the gov to become available for some other technology that can.
The IPod sales figures have nothing to do with this and is just being used as smoke and mirrors to get some corps agenda advanced.

Please, the total amount of frequency allocated to SDARS (Satellite Radio) in TOTAL is 25 MHz (12.5 MHz to each company).
That is HALF the frequencies allocated to an 850 MHz cellular carrier in one band in one market.
They really were given hardly any spectrum honestly, they could offer alot more, at least better sound quality.
