Nothing.


Except (in the long run) increase prices and worsen service because there
will be no chance of competation.

More importantly...will I be able to listen to Packer games in the
plane now? (That's the only reason I miss my old ADF...)

Just like when IBM owned the computer industry in 1980.

Packers haven't been worth listening to since the Lombardi years. :~(

I don't beleive Sirius had in their business plan to go into the aviation WX
market. But had they not merged neither would have been around in 4 or 5
years.

Oh, I don't know. The Holmgren years were pretty fun!

And any time you've got Favre as your quarterback, it's gonna be
interesting. Sometimes hair-pulling, gut-wrenching, and frustrating
-- but never, ever boring.

Yes, they do/did. Sirius is (was?) going to be the carrier for WSI's
downlinked weather. We WSI customers have been waiting since last October to
begin swapping our existing receivers for ones that receive the Sirius
signal.

I am a bit concerned how this merger, if it indeed goes through, would impact
WSI's weather delivery. However, as an XM Radio customer, I am a bit excited
about the increased talk channels and more stations that don't play
commercials between music.
