Spidey2721 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 "Given the government's history of opposing monopolies in all forms, NAB would be shocked if federal regulators permitted a merger of XM and Sirius," the trade group said in a statement. "It bears mentioning that regulators summarily rejected a similar monopoly merger of the nation's only two satellite television companies - DirecTV and DISH Network - just a few years back." Bank added that as a condition of the merger the Department of Justice might impose some sort of price caps so that the combined company can't raise monthly subscription rates by a big amount, if at all. First thing that came to my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Uhhh, unlike Dish and Direct TV, Sirius and XM both offer their own unique programming. They aren't just "re-broadcasters." So anti-monopoly laws are a lot different in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
