A company like Microsoft or Apple or Verizon should be able to purchase that license and create a company to compete, if they want. There is no competing company that offers News, Music, and Personality driven Talk Radio, in a portable package like Satellite radio. I want another option.

The competion will be over the air HD programming... the government needs to get out of the control business and let competion flourish.

In my view XM and Sirius are doing a great job by giving the U.S. Treasury almost $20 millions. I am respecting it a lot. Thank you for this publication.

So much for free market capitalism in America today.
