Sirius, XM feel the urge to merge?

[David Tomm]

I haven't read the article, but FCC Chairman Kevin Martin has  
previously stated that any merger between the two satcasters would be  
struck down by the agency.  I'm sure the two services would love to  
merge, since satellite radio is not experiencing the rapid growth it  
once was, but it's not going to happen.
