"FCC Chairman says Sirius-XM ruling possible by June 30th"

"Regarding the open device condition, we agreed with the Chairman that
should the Commission permit any entity to manufacture a satellite
radio receiver, it would obviate the need for a mandate that all
satellite radios have an HD radio chip, or that they be interoperable.
In that case, the market would inevitably provide for satellite radio
receivers with a wide variety of features." (emphasis added)."

"Takeaway: This is a strong suggestion that iBiquity's proposal is
losing ground in favor of open access. That's a good thing in my
opinion - requiring that HD Radio be included seems to have little to
do with the "public interest" and more to do with "iBiquity's
interest."

IN REALITY "The Market" is BIG Media Corporations
and Their Paying Corporate Advertisers; along with the
Broadcast Industry Lobbists in Washington DC telling
the US Congress what is needed and the US Congress
'telling' the FCC what to do.
