XM Sirius: NAB files objection

San Diego Blog NewsAdd to Technorati Favorites

From the National Association of Broadcasters:

NAB today filed a 30-page response to comments on the proposed monopoly-merger of XM and Sirius

radiovuNoting that such a merger would “violate long-standing Commission policies against spectrum monopolies and the procompetitive vision enshrined by the Telecommunications Act of 1996,” the NAB filing concluded “there is no legal or factual basis upon which the Commission can approve the proposed merger between XM and Sirius.”

NAB’s response also cited a study by telecommunications economist Professor Stephen S. Wildman, co-director of the Quello Center for Telecommunication Management and Law at Michigan State University. Wildman’s report studies the pricing and advertising dimensions of the satellite radio market and concludes that the FCC should deny XM and Sirius’s Merger Application.


As the merger gains ground, expect more opposition from the NAB and other groups.
