Ned Your Always Wrong

After reading and responding to Chris’s comment on Satellite radio,
I had a deja-vu moment…Hmmmm…. I have read those words or something
like it…

So I did a quick Yahoo search on “merger in my work with the NAB”. and what do you think I find…

A comment by Chris that states:

“I’ve been following the proposed merger in my work with the NAB
and can add to the articles numerous points that the merger won’t
benefit consumers and isn’t as advertised.

The biggest threat comes in the monopoly that would be created. A
combined XM/Sirius would have the ability to charge their customers
more and use those profits to undercut the advertising prices, thus
threatening terrestrial radio and our local broadcasters.”

Then I modified the search to: “my work with the NAB” and found this little gem, and not quite relative to the topic, but a similar sentiment.

“Aside from the monopoly concerns, a XM/Sirius would have the
leverage through cross-subsidization and utilizing anti-competitive
tactics to go after terrestrial radio, undercutting advertising
revenues at both the national and local levels.”

This comment is by Nolan, which jives with part of the email address required to post his comment here…

Well Chris (if that is your real name) I give you credit for at
least admitting that you work for the NAB, but what I find puzzling is
that the NAB is based in Washington DC, and your ip is coming from
Colorado…
