 Re:       Requestfor Special Temporary Authorityfor 30 days; SAT—STA—20061002—00114


 Dear Ms. Dortch:

 On 9 November 2006, in connection with the above—noted request for an STA, undersigned
 counsel, and James S. Blitz and Robert Smith of XM Satellite Radio, met with the following
 members of the International Bureau and the Office of Engineering and Technology: Stephen
 Duall, Shabnam Javid, Gardner Foster, Karl Kensinger, Julius Knapp, JoAnn Lucanik, Rod
 Porter, Bruce Romano, and Cassandra Thomas.

 During this meeting, we asked that the Commission grant XM‘s request for a thirty—day STA. In
 so doing, we discussed the adverse impact on service and consumers that could result from the
 failure to grant the STA in its entirety. We also pointed out that taking additional steps to
 conform the repeater network to the existing STAs would create a greater likelihood of
 interference to services in adjacent spectrum, since the existing network is smaller and less
 powerful that what the FCC has already approved. Finally, using the attached maps, we
 discussed the coverage that the repeater network provides in the Detroit and Atlanta markets and
 how that coverage would be affected if the STA request were not granted.

 Please let me know if you have any questions about this filing.

                                              Sincerely yours,
