Sirius/XM merger is finally done!

But is it really a Monopoly has the opponents of the merger have argue?

How do you define a Monopoly? You define it by the product sold the low or non existent competition to sold that product or a substitute and the market being sold the product. This is the last and most important point the product need to be essential to the market like oil, water, air and  food. In other words and for most geek out there. "The spice must flow!" 

In the case of Sirius/XM the product is portable entertainment the competition is wide open with product such has MP3 players, cell phones, portable video game console, conventional radio and god know what else. And the market is peoples moving from point A to point B or in some case from A to Z and every letters in between. That a large market it include well everybody who alive and even barely moving!

So you tell me is new merged corporation a Monopoly?
