Of Couse, They could put XM Or Sirius Radio In the ground if they wanted too. Anything they do, if they want to make new radios, add more programing or anything really, they have to talk to the F.C.C So it meets there requirements. With the merger, there holding it up, if you didn't hear last week they took your comments on the merger. Over half the people wanted the merger. 80% wanted it 20% Didn't. I think the merger will be turned down unless there is another satellite radio company out there, which there isn't. I think you will hear more news on the satellite merger in September, hopefully.

Anything dealing with U. S. satellites and communications is governed by the F. C. C. already. The regulations are changing all the time. It's hard to keep up. Amateur radio too is changing. We are losing some bands in favor of government use. Also, if we want to use the airwaves, some things must go digital. Analog broadcasts will soon be illegal. Good luck sorting out the laws. Even the experts are having difficulty these days. Of course that only applies to stuff in U. S. air space. Outside the U. S. you have to know international law or the law of the local government.

They can control it if they want. You have to have a license to go into space or place a satellite in space. They are already controlling it with taxes. But they dont really see a need right now to control the content of what the companies are putting out. Since its not free and its not on public controlled stations they figure the parents should be the ones responsible.
They cant control if the parents get their kid something on XM and allow them to listen to howard stern. Thats on the parents. The government is only going to control what the children watch without parents permission.
But in the end its the parents responsibiblity even on public radio or tv.

The FCC will certainly try to do whatever they can to regulate satellite radio. But thus, comes the "HBO" argument....since you are paying for the service as a "premium" to what is being offered on free (terrestrial) radio, then you know willingly that you are paying for uncensored content. And, of course, if you don't want to hear uncensored material (like Howard Stern) then you can always change the channel.
