storm was satellite technology. Satellites are located thousands of miles above the Earth and are
thus able to operate even when disasters occur on the ground. With that in mind, when Hurricanes Ivan and Jeanne hit Florida in September 2004,XM launched a new channel -- XM Emergency Alert, Channel 247.On this channel,
listeners can receive key survival information such as evacuation routes, shelter locations, and
updated weather emergency information for impacted areas.During Hurricane Katrina, XM also established an additional public safety channel, Red
Cross Radio, XM Channel 248. This channel provided information pertinent to Red Cross
workers in the Gulf Coast region, as well as Red Cross aid stations in Houston and other cities, as they assisted in the relief effort.
Again, as with XM Channel 247, Red Cross Radio was available to anyone with an XM receiver without the need to pay a subscription fee.

Another reason for the prompt approval of the Merger.
