I've been contemplating getting Sirius because it has the NFL over XM. I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts / recommendations.

Capitalism aint for the weak or foolish. It punishes poorly run companies and makes way for innovation and better run ones. Sirius has been poorly run since the beginning. When you think you are a big shot and act accordingly, the market place has a way of bringing you back to earth. Mr. Karmazian can cry all he wants, but a better management team with a more realistic view of the market can make two satellite providers successful. Don't waste a lot of time shedding tears for the executives, it's the investors who are getting screwed as Sirius stock heads toward $3.

Exactly - what are the Democrats going to do? Pass a law that requires XM (or Sirius) to stay in business?

Just one? I think you're being optimistic, dude. From what I've read, it's merger or bust for these companies.

And the antitrust laws kill off yet another innovative company. Thanks a million, Washington.

You mean after their equipment is bought up by another broadcast service for penies on the dollar and don’t pay one personality hundreds of millions?
