XM and Sirius extend merger deadline, blame FCC for not understanding their love

The XM / Sirius merger soap opera never ends, does it? Although the original deal allowed for either company to walk away risk free on March 1 if government regulators didn’t approve, the two companies have looked each other deeply in the eye and re-affirmed their love for each other — for another two months. That’s right, they’ve only extended the deadline for a whopping eight more weeks — it’s like no one at either company has noticed that this no part of this process has actually been on schedule or gone smoothly. Seriously, if we thought we could put a merger on deathwatch, we might actually do that here. Ah well, here’s to young love — too bad most of those stories end up with everyone dead, eh?

    I opened this website for myself long time ago. Today it has become even better. I like the links and info that is given here, I just dislike some people. They make a lot of mistakes when posting or commenting. They are usually rude and have a bunch of problems I think. They spoil this website. I would want them to leave this place alone and go somewhere else to have their kind of fun.

    Huh… Slightly addled, but on the whole I like this post. You’ve got some fresh ideas. But please, write more lucid.
