This should have been a done deal a year ago! ...and now that I can see the future, a year later - now that the iPhone is out, which would have been considered a good business move - a year ago, it is more than obvious that this deal should go through. It makes no sense, and it is absurd to think that we wouldn't want to pay $20.00, 40, 60 per/month for this service, After All... we pay 125.00/month for cable, 50/month for high speed internet, 40 bucks for a bottle of wine (You do drink wine Sen. Kerry? right?) You do pay for gas (From Exxon/Mobile) right? What's that?? You pay 80.00/week for gas!!! and you guys are saying that we can't let these companies merge because it may get to expensive in the future?? and we might have to pay 19.95, or higher?? Compare that to my 6.00 coffee habit that I can't seem to break... and you are worried about the consumer?? come ON!? This is outrageous, and should be illegal. These companies are being falsly held in limbo (FCC Sabatoge). Nobody is buying devices and subscriptions are down because of 2 reason... 1) The people don't want to buy 2 devices - one for baseball, one for football - before they can be heard on one device. Sales have halted - and it is killing these companies. (Not to mention the legal fees) 2) Our economy. The consumer is not buying. Get with it. Write to you local leaders and let them know that, if they speak for the people, then speak louder in support for this merger. THE PEOPLE WANT IT - XM/Sirius need your help. Please help pass the merger and let the Senate work on larger issues, like gas prices! Afterall, I don't see XM/Sirius ever charging 80.00/week. I am so frustrated with the lack of action by the FCC.
