While this merge is good for the serious sports listener (giving them all the sports stations a satellite listener could ask for), I am cautious about flailing my arms in the air for joy. Price increases are evident at some point, how much of an increase is the question. Hopefully these companies will be kissing some &quot;sirius&quot; tail like Brando said.http://www.gizmocafe.com/blogs/gizmo_cafe_blog/archive/2007/02/21/107946.aspx#108209Fri, 23 Feb 2007 15:52:06 GMT173b0a64-840a-4ba0-afe6-d77867afd09b:108209Gizmo Cafe BlogCompeting Satellite Radio providers XM and Sirius have announced an intent to merge.&amp;amp;nbsp;But the deal...http://www.gizmocafe.com/blogs/gizmo_cafe_blog/archive/2007/02/21/107946.aspx#112493Fri, 30 Mar 2007 02:59:47 GMT173b0a64-840a-4ba0-afe6-d77867afd09b:112493Loggin Leon<p>I travel around 6000 miles a month and I enjoy being able to tune into the program(s) I like without interuption.</p> <p>There are pluses to each provider, Sirius has some good programming but Stern has been over rated for the last decade, time has past. &nbsp;Concentrate on their other offerings. &nbsp;XM technology as far as receivers is definately in the lead. The merger will probably increase the cost, key thing is that the companies are failing individually due to lack of profits (ie. not enough subscribers per dollar invested) this should help keep price increase in check as they will need to attempt continued increase in interest and subsequent subscriptions. &nbsp;Should be an interesting year. &nbsp;Long live Satellite Radio!</p>
