Satellite radio saga takes unexpected turn - Yahoo! News

Satellite radio saga takes unexpected turn - Yahoo! News:

"Adelstein, the potential deciding vote, told The Associated Press on
Thursday that he would support Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.'s $3.1 billion buyout
of XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. if the companies agree to a six-year price
cap and make one-quarter of their satellite capacity available for public
interest and minority programming, plus other conditions."


I think that looking at this as a monopoly isn't fair. It may be the only satellite radio service. but it still competes against standard (and free) radio, free broadcast TV, Cable TV, Satellite TV, Internet, Podcasts and other sources.
