Glenn, although I wish your guess were right and if they did merger, I would save commission since I've a lot of asnd and coms in one account, I don't think this merger will happen. DOJ would block it since USR and ASND control more than 80% of RAS market. USR camp would be upset since they would feel cheated and abandoned, the synergy and chemistry simply wouldn't exist. Neither x2 nor k56 currently in the stores would sell since the customer would have to upgrade to some mixed56k for sure.
