I'm just an armchair economist, but this if this deal were to go through, I'd hate to think what this would do to existing customers of both satellite providers.

Competition is always a good thing, and with the limited availability of other satellite tv companies to choose from for the consumer, this would create somewhat of monopoly.

What do you guys think?
