Full FeedBreaking: XM and Sirius officially merge!
Earlier today, there were rumors regarding a possible merger between satellite radio giants XM Radio and Sirius. Now, reports have come through that the merger is official - and an official press conference is scheduled for tomorrow.
Is this crazy news or what? Both XM and Sirius have spoken of a possible merger for what seems like years. Due to regulatory hurdles, the deal was never even attempted. Now, it looks like they may have found a loophole in the law, and they’re making the plunge. I personally think that the FCC will never let this happen. If so, this would indeed create a monopoly in the satellite radio industry.
Looks like we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to get the full scoop, so stay tuned.

Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
I’d be curious to see how the government responses to this. How this isn’t an antitrust issue is beyond me.
