XM/Sirius Merger Still a Long Shot

"...there is not one device or current service which can provide the national coverage, variety, and overall convenience of satellite radio. That is precisely why consumers choose to subscribe to the services in the first place......"

You obviously don't have sat radio. I did NOT buy it for the "national coverage". I, like everyone else, bought it because it offers better music playlists without commercials and better organizations of channels. Besides just music, I can get CNBC or CNN or Entertainment news in my car or listen to sports game that I can't get on tv. Could I get that sports game on the internet too? Sure. Can I listen to music on the internet? Yes. Can I download Jim Cramer on iTunes? Sure. Can I watch Lost for free on ABC online? Yes.

The internet is "international". I can get music on itunes or my cell phone nationally too. And as for terrestial local radio -- bottom line here -- it sucks, has lame djs, and too many commercials. The product is simply not as good as what innovative substitutes offer....and it isn't willing to change and is scared of competition and is trying to do everything to block this merger.

Go buy sat radio and you'll see how it compares. It's not a "national coverage" thing -- it's a better product thing!
