As much as I don't like monopolies, if they don't merge we will have no
satellite radio. They are not making money, and merging is the only way
they can  possibly stay afloat.

I think us in-the-boonies listeners will benefit from this.

And, if it sat. radio doesn't survive, we've got all those CDs, MP3, and
good old fashioned night-time AM. ;)
