---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Richard Cuff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Apr 16, 2007 10:06 AM Subject: cNet perspective: "Is Uncle Sam serious about Sirius-XM?" To: Shortwave programming discussion <[email protected]> As one might expect, this is pro - "wide competitive landscape" -- that Satellite Radio isn't a market unto itself. Key quote: "What is most important now for sound communications policy is to move beyond classifying and regulating services based on the particular technology or slice of spectrum used for distributing the service. Whether evaluating the competitive impact of a particular merger or deciding whether to jettison archaic, unduly burdensome regulations devised during an earlier, generally monopolistic analog era, the important question should be: do consumers have reasonable alternative choices in the marketplace?" As one who is about to switch off his satellite radio subscription due to lack of use -- I have an inventory of podcasts and downloaded programs I listen to in the car -- I agree that there are many reasonable alternative choices, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
