I do not see how the Ibiquity proposal can seriously be considered unless it is Ibiquity that subsidizes the chipsets, and even helps with rev share costs, etc. For NAB_Sucks Not really. Sirius and XM would still have to activate the radio in order for it to receive a signal. If the radio is not activated in the system, it will not get a SDARS signal. The danger of stealing would not really be increased from levels that already exist. For Newman

The new company should make the technical specifications of its devices and network open and available to allow device manufacturers to develop, and consumers to use, any device they choose without interference. Pursuant to the commission rules, these devices must be certified by the FCC for receiving signals on the frequencies licensed and subject to a minimum “do-no-harm” requirement. ********************************************** Would this make it easier to steal satellite radio? Would hacker radios start appearing all across the U.S.A.?? I don't like this concession at all.....THROW IT OUT!! 4.

Other than the fact that the PK proposal is much more diverse, public service oriented, much more palatable (and realisitic)... oh yeah, and Public Knowledge is not a leech using the government to do its dirty work for them! I am surprised Georgetown got as much press as it did, but I guess the fact that Jesse Jackson is behind them and he is the biggest loud mouthed self-serving hypocrite out there could make a difference. Dont get me wrong, I am not saying any of this because of the race involved, I am saying it simply based on the merit of what has transpired in their conversations and in the past. PKs proposal makes perfect sense, and those were some of the exact concessions that I was considering when the merger was announced. Next question Tyler: How does this proposal mesh with the iBiquity proposal? If they have an open network, Sirius/XM cannot mandate other companies to include HD radio in their recievers... What then? The Public Knowledge proposal is the exact same as the Georgetown offer…
