11 states air serious static for the Sirius – XM merger

They're not happy the US Department of Justice gave the go-ahead without conditions, and that's (at least) what they want the FCC to impose, in the name of protecting consumers. The attorneys general of 11 states have banded together, citing the combination of Sirius and XM Satellite Radio as "anticompetitive." Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann says people "will be forced to listen to limited programming offered by a monolithic entity at prices set in a monopolistic environment." Potential conditions floated by the attorneys general are for Sirius/XM to offer interoperable receivers to its customers, as well as divesting radio spectrum to allow competitors into the business. The FCC is expected to impose some type of constraints if they approve the merger.
