Hopefully the regulators will let it happen. If so I will make a good chunk of change off this.

Keep in mind though, eliminating competition in the market could drive the price of service up and/or less quality programming in the long run.

yeah I'm afraid of whats going to happen here... I am not going to pay $20 a month just because of a monopoly. I'm in my car so little now that the mp3 player takes care of my needs. I like Sat Radio a lot but I have my limits.

They still have competition like free radio, HD radio, and mp3 players.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. communications regulators on Friday took a step forward in reviewing Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.'s (SIRI.O: Quote, Profile, Research proposed acquisition of XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (XMSR.O: Quote, Profile, Research.
The Federal Communications Commission said it formally opened its review of the deal for public comment, a move that starts a 180-day review clock.
The FCC has a 180-day target for completing merger reviews, although the target is not binding and the agency sometimes takes longer to evaluate major transactions.
Sirius plans to buy XM in a deal that would combine the only two providers of satellite radio service in the United States and has sparked concerns among some U.S. lawmakers and consumer groups.

Potential Sirius aquisition of XM
Thats the latest news on the "merger". I think that the initial denial of the two merging was based off of high hopes for the two. Now that both are kind of struggling I think that the merger is being given special consideration.
I also wouldn't trust anything Widipedia says...LOL
