Well the FCC actually hasn't ruled anything, but the chairman did say that it was unlikely to allow them to merge. This is because there will be markets in the US that would be monopolized because there isn't another radio option. In those areas the Satellite radio option could then charge a premium.

However if XM and Sirus can show that they are loosing customers and those customers are not buying a different Satellite system, then I don't see why the FCC wouldn't approve it.

I don't buy it. If they got caught charging those customers any more than everyone else, they would have hell to pay, one way or another.
