Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Requests Of XM Radio Inc. For 60 Day and 180 Day Special Temporary Authorizations Regarding Digital Audio Radio Service Terrestrial Repeater - File Nos. SAT-STA-200712 14-00175 and SAT-STA- 20071219-00178 Dear Ms. Dortch: On December 20, 2007, I wrote on behalf of the WCS Coalition expressing concerns regarding the above-referenced requests by XM Radio Inc. (“XM”) for 60 day and 180 day special temporary authorization (“STA”) to operate a new type of low-power Digital Audio Radio Service (“DARS”) terrestrial repeater in Vienna, VA. Last Friday, XM amended these applications to provide both additional information and new certifications regarding the manner in which this new repeater will operate. In light of this new information and the new certifications made by XM, the WCS Coalition hereby withdraws its opposition to XM’s request for STAs that will allow the installation of this single low-power repeater in Vienna, VA. Attachment 2 to XM’s amendments suggests that XM ultimately intends for repeaters of this sort to proliferate. This is neither the time nor the place to debate the rules and policies that should govern wider deployment of similar devices. It must be noted, however, that the WCS Coalition’s willingness to withdraw its opposition to the above-referenced applications is expressly premised on XM’s installation of just a single device at a single location that is known to the WCS Coalition in advance and that is under XM’s direct control. The WCS Coalition reserves the right to object should XM propose to deploy additional devices of this type.
