Sirius And XM Get Face Time With GOP Commissioners
In contrast to previous filings where the companies typically state that they discussed “pending issues raised in recent filings”, the new language that they have now added says, “including the previously filed voluntary commitment letter.”
In order for merger approval, Sirius and XM need three out of the five commissioners to vote in favor of the license transfer. Popular thinking is that the three GOP commissioners are most most likely to approve the deal, thus allowing the merger to happen.

I thought Tate was in Africa this week. That is what her office told me on the phone on Monday morning.

Everyday it becomes more apparent that Chairman Martin has no idea what is going on at the FCC and why things are still in circulation a year after they were put there. He has been giving guidance as to when he believes the decision will be final at the FCC and none of those dates have come to fruition. Furthermore, the FCC has been sitting on this for over 500 days and according to an article by Reuters he would be open to more conessions if the other commissioners had any. How could he not know the opinions of the other commissioners by now….500 days. Someone should put his ass on satellite and send him out to space. What a freakin puppet.
