I'm not too sure what it exactly entitles, but this should be good news for new and current satellite radio users.

Some have feared that if Sirius and XM are allowed to merge, the two companies would raise the monthly price.

However, the companies said last year that they would be willing to offer a so-called "a la carte" price plan where consumers could pick certain packages ranging from $6.99 a month to $16.99 a month. The two companies have also maintained that a combined service offering the best of both companies' offerings will cost less than the $25.90 a month that a consumer would currently have to pay to subscribe to both Sirius and XM.

Good news but the FCC still has to approve it.

they can argue that regular radio offers another option, thus no monopoly.
