Georgetown Partners, the minority-owned firm that analyzes FCC regulated
markets “for opportunities to extend minority ownership
and control,” recently met with public interest groups to discuss set aside provisions of Sirius-XM spectrum, according to a recent filing.
The privately-owned firm, headed up by Chester Davenport (pictured), is asking the Federal Communications Commission to require that 20% of Sirius-XM’s broadcast infrastructure be leased to a “independent new entrant.”
In a letter to FCC Chairman Martin, Davenport outlined his meeting with public interest groups (PDF)]
Bonus: Listen to yesterday’s featuring Public Knowledge co-founder Gigi Sohn where we briefly discussed Georgetown Partners’ proposal.
