So, they finally decided to do it. There has been talk of it for a while. Actually they have to merge or else die. The iPod is killing them. Lots of car mfrs. are making the iPod adaptors for their radios and even MP3 compatible radios. They (XM & Sirius) generate lots of revenue but neither has made a profit, ever.
