Stifel Nicholaus analyst Blair Levin stated that Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. are due to respond to charges that the companies misled the FCC about their interoperability efforts, in a research note issued this morning.
Levin is skeptical that the charges “will prove decisive” but will reserve judgment pending more information.
Last month, the broadcaster-supported group C3SR , are seeking some sort of guaranteed access for minority programmers.
Levin, who himself was a top adviser to
former chairman Reed Hundt (and, some say, a possibility to be the next FCC Chairman), expects that activity will continue to intensify at the FCC, though the chances of a June decision have “shrunk to a very low.”
