SUSPENSE GROWS OVER XM-SIRIUS ANTITRUST REVIEW
[SOURCE: Reuters, AUTHOR: Peter Kaplan]
The Department of Justice has been reviewing Sirius' plan to acquire XM Satellite Radio for nearly ten months. Is the delay due to the complexity of issues raised by the merger of the only two U.S. satellite radio companies? Or because the DOJ is putting together a case to block the deal in federal court? Alternatively, top officials at DOJ may be leaning toward approval but might still be weighing arguments from staffers who oppose the deal.
