E. Free Option
Responding to a question from one of the FCC staffers asking whether AIR is to remain free to anyone with an SDARS receiving device whether or not they were currently a Sirius XM customer, Mr. Shakur answered in the affirmative. He indicated that he would want to maintain free access to those with SDARs receivers in their cars that have not been activated, had an expired subscription or for others with mobile SDARs receivers on their laptops or other devices. The reasoning behind maintaining that position is to expand the audience reach beyond the Sirius XM subscriber base and to enable more Americans to have access to the unique content programs that would certainly be made available on the AIR network. Further, the diverse owners of content, who one time had difficult times accessing mass markets would be able to reach a market beyond what they would have had access to via an Internet radio station, for example. F. Mobile Access
The content broadcast on the network would be available to anyone with mobile devices with Internet access and streaming capabilities. They would not need to invest in purchasing a SDARs transmitter device for their car, home or office to receive the content broadcast on the independent channels. The mobile phone for example, could be used as a radio. Responding to a query for the need to be on the SDARs network when the content can be made available via Internet, Ms. Malchado indicated that the power of the brand behind Sirius XM would command a larger audience for content providers even beyond the 19 million Sirius XM subscriber base.
Big Time question...at what point will the market start to react to leaked news?
