XM Satellite Glitch Disrupts Service
Best Satellite TV for PC: Some XM Satellite Radio subscribers, mainly in the eastern United States and Canada, had no service for about a day after a software glitch knocked the signal from one of the company's four satellites. Problems began around noon on Monday. Service was restored yesterday (Tuesday), writes the AP (via the San Jose Mercury News).According to a company spokesperson, the company does not know just how many of its 8 million subscribers were affected, but internet message boards indicated the problem was widespread.
David Bank, an analyst from RBC Capital Markets, said the disruption could be an issue for the company and for investors if subscribers begin to turn away from XM. "We'll have to find out exactly what happened, whether it's a systemic problem or just a fluke," Bank is quoted as saying.
NCTA: Let Cable Bid on Broadcast Spectrum
Best Satellite TV for PC: The Federal Communications Commission would like to promote competition in broadband wireless services by excluding one competitor from an upcoming auction of spectrum: cable-system operators.

Cable firms would not warehouse spectrum in an effort to protect cable-modem revenue, the association said.
"Spending billions of dollars to purchase spectrum that they have no intention of using would be a useless allocation of resources that cable operators engaged in a competitive battle with telephone companies, direct-broadcast satellite providers and others can ill afford to waste," the NCTA said in its filing.
