The NAB (National association of broadcasters) is urging the FCC to
release details of the FCC rule violations of XM and Sirius regarding FM modulators and
terrestrial repeaters. Previously, the Commission told the satcasters to offer specifics about their
noncompliant equipment; XM and Sirius have filed an application for review. According to
NAB Executive Vice President of Media Relations Dennis Wharton, âXM and Sirius may
operate above the Earth, but they are not above the law. Their continued reluctance to fully
disclose key facts related to past violations is yet another example of why these two companies
should not be trusted with monopoly power.â

That's what I'm wondering, and a source for the report would be nice.
The NAB has an axe to grind; therefore it doesn't qualify as a source on this one.

Is this regarding that some of the Sirius or XM transmitters are a bit too powerful?
I did read in the NY Times a few months back that Sirius transmitters could be heard coming through surrounding cars radios, even without being Sirius/XM compatible.
The article talked about how one man was driving down the road, and the Howard Stern show came on over his radio. Well Stern is now on Sirius, and this man didn't even have a Sirius radio.

I have did this several times with my friends. We would be sitting in a parking lot or if they stayed within a few car links while driving all they have to do is tune into my radio station.

It's no different than the democratic party using Michael Moore, Al Gore, and CNN as a voice or source and they do it all the time.
Most, if not all, media these days have axes to grind.
BTW, The source is "Small Market Radio Newsletter," July '07
