Well, I hope that the merger is anti-trusted. I don't think it will be, as both companies are going to say that they're in the same market as MP3 players and old fashioned radio, and as a relatively new technology the courts are probably going to agree with them.
At it least it solves the issues of dead spots with either service...

I dont think you will have to buy another receiver to get both programs. All they have to do is reprogram the towers. Kinda like Sprint/Nextel. I dont see the prices going up too much anyways. You have to think, this radio service is only a luxury, they know this. Most people will discontinue service before payin a huge monthly subscription fee.
