Sirius Radio Congress

[lrd9999]

I wouldn't mind the "monopoly" so much if they were at least required to be honest with their customers. "lifetime" subscriptions on receivers that fall apart in a year or two, hours on hold just to cancel, no written record of any transactions so they can accuse you of lying whenever they screw up. Their service is worse than that of most monopolies.

Sirius should have just let xm fold. It sucks now.

[flyrock45]

Myself like everybody else out-there likes having a choice. Mergers like this should never be allowed to happen because companies win while the consumer is at their mercy. for example, they can triple the monthly rate and get away with it because we no longer have a choice to go elsewhere.

Already satellite radio is acting like a typical monopoly just weeks after FCC approval. It isn't like we said this wouldn't happen.

Executives like this just laugh at the government.

[GlaekenTrismegestus]

let see what Mr. Chairman, the techno-moon that has no clue where the off switch is on his cell phone will decide after explanation of Sirius Radio Slick known also as Boiler Room Radio Operations Executive. Give his some oxygen, Anybody!!. The XM quality sucks and the Sirius hardware and Service sucks superior. Maybe next Commander and Chief will be the one that knows how to operate computer, not the one that is "Internet Aware" one.

Umm, where exactly did you learn to write?

[jelanirulz]

Nice interesting post! But, have you seen what happens if you put diamonds in a blender? Check it out blend.lostfrog 'dot' com

[rocket58]

Not sure why this responses won't post. Let's just say, I love XM and it is a diamond. But not with the merger. Congress and the American people should not be asked to cover up for the bad decisions these networks made about over-paying talent. For more, go to: ivorytowerz dot blogspot dot com...

opack you are on ocrack.

The BOARD OF DIRECTORS of BOTH companies chose Mel as the CEO of the new proposed company.

Despite your personal feelings about the man, the people that spend their days and nights running these companies obviously feel he is the best man for the job.

For those who want more, check C-SPAN's site.

Satellite Radio is doomed w/ this guy. He still thinks Hoo Hoo Stern has talent. Mel boo hoo hoo hoo make Opie & Anthony stop bashing me. I have 2 XMs and 1 Sirius unit. If O&A get pushed out by you Mel all 3 will be up on eBay FAST! O&A are your money.
