XM, Sirius deal may get needed vote, AP reportsWashington Business Journal - by Jeff Clabaugh Staff Reporter
Federal Communications commissioner Jonathan Adelstein says he will back the proposed merger between XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio -- if the two agree to additional conditions on the merger, according to the Associated Press.
XM and Sirius already have the backing of FCC Chairman Kevin Martin. The deal also has the support of two of the five FCC commissioners, leaving the merger one vote shy of the majority needed for approval.
Adelstein told the AP he wants the companies to cap prices for six years and make one quarter of their satellite capacity available for public interest and minority programming. He circulated his recommended conditions to other FCC commissioners Thursday, the AP reports.
“It is critical that if we’re going to allow a monopoly, that we put in adequate consumer protections and make sure they’re enforced,” Adelstein told the AP.
Martin’s support of the merger already includes a number of conditions the two broadcasters have agreed to, including freeing up some channels for non commercial or minority broadcaster use.
XM Satellite and Sirius Satellite first announced plans for their merger more than a year and a half ago. Shareholders approved the merger in November. The Justice Department signed off on it last month.
The FCC has given no indication of when a formal vote will be taken. .
XM Satellite stock (NASDAQ: XMSR) ended Thursday trading down 17 cents to $8.44 per share. Sirius (NASDAQ: SIRI) gained 3 cents to $2.10. Both stocks have lost a third of their value this year, eroding the value of their stock-based merger to $3.1 billion, from $4 billion when it was first announced.

SIRI --- The FCC's Compromiser in Chief
By Cecilia Kang
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, July 10, 2008; D01
George W. Bush is smiling upon Kevin J. Martin. So are George H.W., Jeb and Barbara, with big toothy grins in a blown-up picture hanging behind his desk at the Federal Communications Commission.
Martin was appointed by President Bush to head the FCC in 2005, five years after he worked as a legal counsel for Bush's presidential campaign. He also worked on the Florida vote recount, and the fruits of his labor -- newspaper front pages declaring Bush's victory -- line the hallway leading into his office.
So when the rising Republican star was charged with one of the most influential roles in government -- presiding over multibillion-dollar mergers, setting rules on cellphone and Internet services and preventing naked backsides from getting on family television -- the party loyalist was expected to follow the playbook.
Yet from the start, he defied predictions and many in his party. Unlike his predecessor, Michael Powell, a Republican who had pushed for stronger indecency rules and free markets, Martin has not shown a strong ideological bent.
Martin, a soft-spoken 41-year-old, has pushed to change cable television pricing, which angered business leaders and party members. He sided with Democratic lawmakers to pry open wireless airwaves to more companies. He's revived debate on Internet rules that service providers and key Republican lawmakers called a solution looking for a problem.
"He's been incredibly open to our ideas, which has been a huge surprise coming from a key appointee from the Bush White House," said Larry Cohen, president of the Communications Workers of America.
In the remaining months of his tenure -- it is expected that the next president will appoint a new chairman -- support for Martin has waned. He is now at the center of a congressional oversight investigation into his leadership, which some officials inside the FCC describe as secretive and autocratic.
For the first time recently, all four other commissioners -- including two Republicans -- voted against Martin, on a decision that Verizon Communications could not use private data on former phone customers to woo them back.
Martin said critics are responding to his push to address many controversial issues during his tenure. He said he is more concerned with addressing public safety and consumer needs than with doctrinaire chest-thumping.
Martin cited a deal he brokered between the satellite radio operators XM and Sirius as proof of his service to consumers. He got the two companies to agree to a list of conditions that would keep prices from rising and create opportunities for minorities in exchange for his blessing on their creation of a monopoly.
Other successes Martin noted: He forced Internet phone services to carry 911 service and has crusaded for cable companies to let consumers buy only channels they want.
"There are no easy questions or easy answers here. They almost all involve big industries, big players and consumer groups, and what I do best is to listen and then come up with consensus or at least compromise," Martin said.
Yet for all the ripples he's caused with his aggressive push for changes in the cable industry, critics say he has overlooked the nation's biggest priorities.
Under his watch, the United States' worldwide ranking for broadband Internet access fell to 16th, behind Denmark and Luxembourg. He failed to establish a wireless network for emergency first responders in disasters like Hurricane Katrina. The transition from low-powered television to digital -- the biggest event in television since the advent of color -- has been wrought with confusion for consumers.
"With Kevin, we've been asleep on broadband, and we're going to be like Rip Van Winkle waking up with no cure for America," said Reed Hundt, a former FCC chairman.
The FCC was once an obscure agency, formed 74 years ago to hand out broadcast television and radio licenses. Today media mogul Rupert Murdoch and Internet billionaire Larry Page come to Martin with hat in hand, humbly asking for favorable policies. The agency is also at a crossroads, struggling to keep up with dramatic changes in technology and communications.
Cable television competes with video Web sites like YouTube. Phone companies like Verizon and AT&T offer television services and high-speed Internet over cellphones.
Martin said he enjoys this expanded telecom world.
"To take a complex issue and find solutions that you can resolve and address policies to -- I like the policy challenges of that," Martin said.
He's done so mostly behind the scenes.
On a recent morning, Martin is clearly uncomfortable as he films a public service announcement about the transition from analog to digital television. He stares, frozen, into the lens and fights to look relaxed, natural.
But once he's among lawmakers, business leaders and consumer advocates, critics say, Martin can be dogged, sometimes difficult and insular.
A congressional staff member, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said House aides used to interact more with staff specialists at the FCC. Under Martin, those meetings are almost always done by him.
"He's maniacal in his desire to control flow of information between the agency and the Hill," the staffer said.
Martin's political aspirations began at the University of North Carolina, where he became student body president his senior year, groomed by alumni politicians in the state.
"I didn't even know he was a Republican until he worked for Bush's election campaign," said friend and former dormmate Steven Tepper, a professor at Vanderbilt University and a Democrat.
Ben Scott, policy director at the public advocacy group Free Press, said he was fiercely at odds with Martin's push to let local television station and newspapers be owned together.
Since last year, however, they've developed a more kindred connection. Martin adopted a rule that would make a national swath of radio-wave spectrum open to any maker of wireless technology, whether or not it's controlled by the wireless carrier. Democrats hailed the condition as a push forward for innovation and choices for consumers. Republicans criticized it as unnecessary regulation.
More recently, Martin also has revived a debate on rules to prevent Internet service providers from blocking or slowing the flow of content over their networks. The issue, called network neutrality, gained attention after Verizon Wireless was caught blocking text messages from NARAL, an abortion-rights advocacy group, and the cable operator Comcast was caught delaying traffic of some video files between Internet users.
Critics say his focus on such issues is a response to the Democratic leadership in Congress. He held a hearing on network neutrality in Cambridge, Mass., the home town of Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), chairman of the Energy and Commerce subcommittee on the Internet and telecommunications. About the same time, Markey announced a bill to enforce tougher open-Internet policies.
"He's guided more than anything by where the political winds are blowing and not by any particular philosophical view of anything," said Ken Ferree, president of the Progress & Freedom Foundation, a conservative policy shop.
Martin disagreed, saying he believes in free-market economics -- though he "can be convinced of regulation" when it comes to issues affecting consumers and public safety.
This, Markey said, is the approach a chairman should take: "Not ideological but rather practical."
Yet that approach makes some wonder whether his style has abetted progress.
James Quello, a former FCC commissioner, said part of the way to succeed is to be a leader. Martin said he meets regularly with the other four commissioners, but some have complained privately that they are kept in the dark and rarely asked to participate in his meetings with key business leaders and lawmakers.
Such tactics have been questioned in the investigation, according to FCC sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the probe is ongoing.
Martin is aware that he has received more scrutiny because he's willing to defy expectations.
"What we do is too controversial," he said. "If you are worried about being liked, you won't get things done."
What's up Big Dawg?!?!?! What do you see in the markets?
READ PLEASE READ --- HOLD to your money - my reccomendation play minimum right now, let this dump of the overall market stop. There are a few out there but people are not holding long right now, so it's throwing chart plays out the window. I have a couple I'm holding but these I believe long term, so will add if they drop lower.
Only BPG and USS are two plays I was hoping for a nice pop we will see what happens. I might just watch next 7 trading days.

UDTT news: Universal Detection Technology Receives Contract to Provide Radiation Detection Equipment for the 2008 Beijing Olympics
2008-07-08 07:00 ET - News Release
LOS ANGELES, July 8, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Universal Detection Technology (www.udetection.com) (OTCBB:UDTT) (Frankfurt:PO8), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats and provider of counter-terrorism consulting and training services, reported today that it has received a contract to provide radiation detection equipment for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The devices are capable of detecting Gamma and Neutron Radiation and are designed to provide portal protection.
The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) is responsible for all aspects of security for the Olympics. BOCOG plans to deploy 80,000 security personnel for the Olympics. According to Liu Shaowu, the BOCOG security department director, "BOCOG has finished more than 52 schemes and more than 500 specific plans for security, transportation, fire-fighting, anti-terrorism and VIP protection. Beijing will host safe Games."
UDTT will supply equipment that will be used for search and identification of gamma and neutron radioactive materials. The instruments feature the capability to identify the detected isotopes and characterize categories from medical, industrial, natural occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and special nuclear materials (SNM). Because of their high sensitivity, they can be used to verify any alarm triggered by a fix-installed monitor or by a radiation pager, to locate sources, measure radiation levels, and even to identify the detected isotope. The instruments are ideally suited for First Responders, Border Control, Customs inspectors, site security in critical infrastructures, and for all missions related to the control of nuclear materials.
When used in concert, the instruments are optimal in providing portal protection for entrances to venues such as sports stadiums and the Olympic village. The device characteristics include:
-- Gamma & neutron independent channels
-- Very high sensitivity, fast response
-- Relative thresholds to background
-- Real time rejection of sudden background variation (VBS algorithm)
-- Automated spectra acquisition on alert and identification (NMD
algorithm)
-- Clear discrimination of risk category
-- Visual and audible alarms
-- Wireless communication interface
-- Designed to meet / exceeds ITRAP and ANSI standards
"The contract for the Beijing Olympics is another significant milestone for our company," said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UDTT's Chief Executive Officer. "We will continue to pursue clients of this caliber and prestige with our full spectrum of CBRNE detection equipment," he added.
The contract to supply UDTT's radiation detection equipment for the 2008 Beijing Olympics has come from F&D International Corporation. For more information please visit our website at www.udetection.com or
