		<description>Dmoralize- &quot;Zero competition in an industry&quot;?  Are you serious?  

Exactly how is having 1 satelitte company zero competition?  Couldn&#039;t the same be said of terrestrial radio??? First of all, you would have to PAY for satellite.  No one would force you to buy Sirius/XM.  Second of all, there is TONS of competition.  

Examples:  Terrestrial radio, Mp3&#039;s, CD&#039;s, Internet radio stations, myspace, itunes, any medium that delivers music/talk.  THESE ARE ALL COMPEITORS OF SATELLITE RADIO.  Remember...if there&#039;s competition then it CAN NOT be a monopoly.  

But the biggest issue isn&#039;t whether or not it is or isn&#039;t a monopoly.  Why has this taken a year now??  Why can the government not make a decision?  This shouldn&#039;t have taken more than a week to decide....


Also what &quot;ideas&quot; does Sirius and XM censor?</description>

		<description>While I agree that the time frame is ridiculous, why is this article acting like 1 super satellite company would be a utopia.  Zero competition in an industry is never beneficial to consumers.

Not to mention that &quot;uncensored&quot; bullshit is a lie.  Sirius and XM both censor ideas in their own way.  Sure they let curses fly, but they censor in other ways.  They&#039;re as shady as terrestrial radio.</description>
