Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Samsung Telecommunications America, Inc. Request for Experimental Special Temporary Authority File No. 0864-EX-ST-2006 Dear Ms. Dortch: XM Radio Inc. ("XM") hereby comments on the above-referenced application filed by Samsung Telecommunications America, Inc. ("Samsung") on November 28, 2006, requesting Experimental Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to demonstrate WiMAX 802.16 technology in the 2300-2320 MHz and 2345-2355 MHz bands. Due to the need to prevent potential harmful interference to XM's operations, XM requests that the Ofice of Engineering and Technology ("OET") require Samsung to adhere to existing Part 27 limits for these experimental operations. XM is the licensee of a Satellite Digital Audio Radio System ("SDARS") system in the 2332.5-2345 MHz band that provides over 170 channels of high-quality, continuous, multi-channel audio service throughout the United States. Over seven million customers currently subscribe to XM's service. In its application, Samsung requests permission to demonstrate WiMAX 802.16 technology to users at a tradeshow at the Las Vegas Convention Center from January 8 through January 11, 2007. XM urges OET to require that any test equipment Samsung operates in the 2.3 GHz band must satisfy the out-of-band emission limits and other technical requirements for operations in this band as specified in Part 27 of the Commission's Rules. Compliance with these technical restrictions is critical to avoiding harmful interference to XM's operations. w A s DC 20Oo2 H 2164 Z02 , ~ 380 4000 FAXi ~ 202 380 ~ ~ :500 "'
