1–Can NAB really sue, with main intention of delay of merger decision again(they would lose in court but could stop the new entity for awhile longer?)
2–Part of agreement sounds like they(FCC) will take up HD chip inclusion at another date–With a Democratic Congress and President, and NEW FCC commissioners appointment by Democrats at that point, could they force the HD mandate in then(which would be a disaster but payback politically)
3–Should Mel start to get real loud finally in announcements, agreements, focus, vision etc this week?
4–Dows XM cease to exist on Monday?
