Sirius and XM Sattelite Radio have been fighting to merger for over a year now. It looks like the FCC will follow the DOJ and agree to the merger barring some fines and requirements. The vote looks like it will be 3-2 in favor of the merger. One site I read stated that the merger could be voted on as early as today. I wanted to post this and see what the people in Olympia and vicinity thought of this merger. I have my own thoughts and will post my comments after I see some others.

spectrum management...

...for the consumer.

Yeah, I don't even watch cable, and I'm lazy and have not set-up an antenna for Over-the-Air broadcast...

...which is still lame b'cuz TCTV is only on Comcast =(

Oly so needs a public broadcaster for TV & Radio (and co-lo WiFi/WiMax as well =)

We use it at the restaurant

and I know of a few other restaurants that do the same. I've been working on a Clubside mix, though, to replace the satellite. Don't tell Kenny....
