I dont think those details have been revealed yet. probably not even worked out. I wonder what the chances of this getting okayed by the FCC io. Or even the SEC.

i don't think they have any monopoly issues (am/fm still work fine, as do cd/mp3 players), and the savings on satellites alone would make it a good idea.

Well there's this (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=alWomkStRxIg&refer=home) from just a month ago

"Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. wouldn't win approval of a merger under current U.S. Federal Communications Commission rules, agency Chairman Kevin Martin said today."
