The American Antitrust Institute, which opposed the XM Satellite Radio-Sirius Satellite Radio deal as a "merger to monopoly," said the Department of Justice, in finding no fault with the deal, created a higher bar for such monopoly findings while lowering the bar for a finding that such a merger would benefit consumers.

The American Antitrust Institute, a nonprofit that advocates an aggressive stance toward antitrust enforcement, recommended that the Department of Justice file suit against the proposed XM Satellite Radio-Sirius Satellite Radio merger.
