I. INTRODUCTION XM Satellite Radio is a publicly traded company headquanered in Washington, D.C. In 1997, XM obtained one of two Satellite Direct Audio Radio Service(SDARS) licenses from the FCC. Beginning in Spring 2001, XM will provide digital satellite radio scrvice under this license to subscribers in their vehicles and homes. Radios equipped to receive the XM service will be available soon,and will be factory-installed in some models of new cars stariing with the 2002 model year. XM Radio will use a frequency in the 2.3 Gigahertz portion of the spectrum. XM Radio will provide up to 100 digital-quality channels ofmusic,talk,educational, sports and other programming without static. Listeners will be able to tune in to the same stations from coast to coast. Some channels will be commercial free. Increased choice will enable subscribers to listen to altemative programming formats that have little traditional radio airplay. The foundation for the XM service will be two high-power HS 702 satellites located in geostationary orbit at 85 degrees West longitude, anJ 115 degrees West longitude. Radio broadcast signal originating from Washington, D.C. will be transmitted to the satellites. In many areas, the signal then will be transmitted on direcUy from the satellites to consumer radio receivers. In addition, to ensure reliable, seamless signal strength in urban areas where buildings and other obstructions interfere with direct satellite transmission,the satellite signal downlink will be augmented by satellite signal repeater facilities. A typical signal repeater faciliry will consist of a 26"pazabolic satellite signal receiving dish,an omnidirectional or small panel transmit antenna and one approximately 2' x 3' x 5' equipment cabinet.
