As part of its merger deal with the FCC Sirius and XM agreed not to raise rates on their base service for a number of years.
The base service price is not changing however Sirius XM are removing features from the base service and are charging extra to have those services back. To me this is a violation of their agreement with the FCC.
Sirius XM is taking away the online music streaming service which has been a part of its service package and are now going to charge $2.99 extra for it This is essentially taking the $12.99 package and making it $15.98 a month to have the same service you have today.
I don't have an issue with the family plan rates going up, or taking away the streaming service from the family plan radios.
The question now is are we the consumers going to let Sirius XM do this or are we going to stand up and make some noise?

The merger should have never happen--Let the price increase begin
BOTH companies may well have gone under without the merger. Might still happen.
Ok. So I got this for my parents. Two receivers. I told them the price won't go up. Is it going up if they have two? They can live without the online service.
Yes first radio is $12.99 and second radio is $8.99 up two bucks. (That does not include online radio service)
Man oh man. I need to call them to explain. I guess they could drop one radio .
Greed plain and simple. Looks like I will be finally canceling my second radio. I will tell my uncle that the price went up and I can't afford it anymore even though I can I refuse to pay extra even for the online streams. He can live without his southern gospel music.
This is what sucks about this economy. People are losing jobs hand over foot and they are trying to cut expenses and what do these companies do they raise prices instead of making it more affordable.

So when the time is up for when they promised not to increase their fees, an increase is most certainly a given and probably by a large percentage as well.
IT WILL HAPPEN
I guarantee Sirius will be out of business the same time next year,there stock is down,raising prices,pissing off customers with crappy lineup,charging extra,thank god i purchase the lifetime plan 5 yrs ago got my money worth from these jerks. PS DON'T BUY THE 2 OR 3 YEAR PLANS YOU WON'T GET YOUR MONEY BACK!
Allegedly, lifetime subscribers will not have to pay for internet access.
Still, this is a real kick in the balls. I understand they are broke, but they will lose far more subscriptions then they will make up in extra fees, not to mention the very bad goodwill.
They should create one service with all channels available on both systems, come up with one price, and go forward. If they don't, they'll be history soon.

Spoken like a profit. The Pandora that I get for free on my Iphone has double the bit rate and sounds awesome. When your competition offers a better product for free, raising prices is not going to help.
They should have been delisted by now, but the nasdaq has given the sub buck stocks until March to get the price up or else get delisted. Generally, when a company ends up on the 'pink sheets", its days are numbered.I don't know how much cash they have, but once it is burned up, they are dust as no one is going to loan them $.
I predict that they will sh*t down before this year is up.
Thank you! anybody thinking of buying the 2or 3 year plan you been warned ,STAY CLEAR MONTH TO MONTH THAT'S IT
