Adelstein released a statement Wednesday.

“I was hoping to forge a bipartisan solution that would offer consumers more diversity in programming, better price protection, expanded choices among innovative devices and real competition with digital radio,” it read. “Instead, it appears they’re going to get a monopoly with window dressing. We really missed a great opportunity to reach a bipartisan agreement that would have benefited the American people.”

It appears that Adelstein has in fact tipped us off as to Commissioner Tates intent.
