In this case I think its for the better.  XM has better technology, 
they both have tons of programming that is duplicated between the two 
and costs $ to produce, and have content that forces people to 
currently choose one or the other (NFL on sirius, MLB on XM, 
etc).  This is the first step in making the satellite radio 
marketplace MUCH better off (and profitable for shareholders).
