Hex nothing is guaranteed (other than the 2 things we know of). My sense is though that since neither company has made money they need to tightly control expenses and grow concurrently. The merger will likely reduce expense, and grow but it is merely the (total)expense of running 2 companies

Redundancy. If they eliminate redundancy it would cancel out the double expense.

I was wrong the Alacatel Lucent merger is worse because both companies never had a real product or service, and IMO they still don't. At least XM and SIRIUS do have a service with real customers, not selling within their entities like ALU...

Of course, after the merger a R/S usually happens. This is what happened to ALU. I will be long gone by then..

Gotta get back to work. I work for a living. ;-)
