Today we’ve got a guest posting from Jacobs Media’s Paul Jacobs:
Top 10 reasons why an XM-Sirius merger sounds like a bad idea:
1. $19.99/month
2. Since when did the government reward failure?
3. Does this mean that the FCC will completely de-regulate radio now?
4. Howard gets wealthier because the stock goes up
5. $25.99/month
6. Voice-tracked music channels
7. 18 units/hour on the music channels
8. How come my (Sirius/XM) receiver can’t pick up my (Sirius/XM) signal?
9. If the FCC will approve this merger, they’ll probably approve local traffic and weather (wait, they already have?????)
10. $29.99/month
