Washington
- Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), a high-ranking member of the Senate Commerce
Committee, on Friday wrote to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
asking the agency to block the $5 billion merger of satellite radio firms XM (NASD: XMSR)
and Sirius (NASD: SIRI), Reuters reported.
In his letter, Dorgan said the deal would harm
consumers and urged the FCC not to follow the Justice Department's decision last
month to approve the deal.
"This merger is contrary to the public
interest. I hope that the FCC will stand up for competition in the public
interest and deny this merger," Dorgan wrote in his letter to FCC chairman
Kevin Martin.
