Sirius and XM merger?

The merger is great and my neighbor who works for Sirius says the XM
services should not be affected.

I've avoided subscribing to XM or Sirius for several years because I
wasn't sure which, if either, would survive. Now that I know there
will be a service provider, I plan on subscribing soon. I also became
a stock investor. And I think there are a lot of other people like me
who feel the same way.

And satellite radio DOES have competition, it's called terrestrial
radio and cable TV (mine has 100 digital music channels).
