Ms. Marlene ki. Dortch December 5,2008 Page 2 The International Bureau previously grantcd a 1 SO-day S?A requcst filed by Sirius Satellite Radio Inc3 (“‘Sirius”) to operate very low power repeaters and signal baosters at various temporary automobile industry promotional events, press and marketing events, investor relations events?and trade shows at specified locations and dates.‘ The only difference between that application and thc instant request i.; that iw specific locations art: identified herein. The Bureau has previously given XM authority to operate very low power repeaters and signal boosters at similar events and shows at indefinite locations rind dates.‘ The Wireless Communications Services Coalition (“WCSCoalition”) has stated that it has no objection to the operation of repeaters mid boosters at trade shows provided that operatiails arc temporary in nature, operations are at low power levels, the satellite radio licensee cornnits to operate the repeaters and boosters on a non-interference basis, and the satellite radio Iicensee acknowledges that construction of these facilities is at its own risk?’ At discussed herein, Sirius Xh4 satisfies all of these conditions. The Commission has recognized that sate1lite radio operators require tcrrcstrial rcpeaters to providc high-quality service natiunwide.’ Consistent with this policy, in September 200 1, the Bureau granted Sirius XM temporary authority to operate a nationwide network of terrestrial repeaters? operating by January 13, 2009. In the event that the Cotnmissiotz cannot grant the instant STA by January 13, 2009. Sirius XM may need to file a similar application for a 30-day Sl’A prior to that date.

Ms. Marlene 1-1. Dortch December 5,2008 Page 3 The Bureau has subsequently granted Sirius XM additional S'TAs to operate terrestrial repeaters. pending issuance of final rules governing the deployment and use of repeaters,' Rrques,!-fizrSTA. Sirius XM will use the very low power repeaters and signal boosters for which it seeks authority to operate hercin to demonstrate equipment and service at temporary evcnts in various venues across the United States, such as automobile industry promotional events. press and marketing events, investor relations events, and trade shows. In many cases, Sirius XM expects that it will. not know the locations and dates o f the events covered by this S'I'A with sufficient lead time to prepare individual S'I'A requests and obtain authorization without expcditcd processing by the Cornmission 'I'he objective of this w q i w f is to simplify t l x administrative process fiir supporting these events for the Commission and Sirius XM. Accordingly, Sirius XM herein requests STA to operate the very low powcr repeaters and signal boosters at indefinite locations. The operation of w r y 10% power repeaters and signal boosters at each event will not excced a period of 10 consecutive days (including operation prior to the official start of each event for set-up and testing activities) except for automotive industry trade shows wherc the repeaters could be in operation up to 20 consecutive days. Sirius XM expects to operate very low powcr rcpcaters and signal boosters pursuant to this S'f'A at no more than 10 events in any consecutive 30 day period. Due to blockage from walls, ceilings, and other structures, it is often difficult to providc quality reception o f SDAKS satellite and even terrestrial signals at certain venues. which may not have tine-of-sight views to receive Sirius XM's signal. The difficulties with providing coverage at certain venues require radios to be diq-da) uci with hard wire connections. which limits the locations within a venue at which Sirius XM can sct up its displays. thcrcby creating difficulties for event organizers as well as for Sirius XM. Hecause some venues consist o f a large, oftcn multi-lcvei space. Sirius Xbl anticipates using one or niore (but no more than six) very low power rcpcaters at cach cvcnt. Depending on the ventic Sirius XM may also use one or more (hit. iio tnorc than three) strategically placed signal boosters. The optimal number of very Iow power repeaters and signal boosters will be chosen to cnsiirc full coverage of each event. Accordingly, grant of this STA to iisc ttiesc very low power repeaters ;imf signal boosters for the limited periodh recliiested hcrcin will serve the public interest. __._I _ _ I _ ~ - l - _ l _ _ I _ _ _ _ Q S w , e.g. Sirius StJtellitc Radio IHC.

I'hc adjacent-band WCS licensees are permitted to operate base stations at a power lcvcl of 2000 watts EIRP and therefore must bc able to withstand potential interference from such operations. With respect to the signal boosters, Sirius XM has previously demonstrated that these signal boosters will ' riot cause ad-jacent band interference to WCS operations.* There has also been no documented interference since Sirius XM began using these same signal boosters and very low power repcaters to support similar events and venues. Accordingly. Sirius XM does not anticipate that these very low power repeaters and signal boasters will cause interference to any WCS receivcrs.
