Item 8.01. Other Events.

As we have previously disclosed, we have filed for both a 30-day Special Temporary Authority (STA) and a 180-day STA with respect to our terrestrial repeater network. We are seeking authority to continue to operate our entire repeater network despite the fact that the characteristics of certain repeaters, as built, differ from the submitted data in the original STAs granted for our repeater network. We have held meetings with the staff of the FCC regarding this matter. On February 15, 2007, we received a letter of inquiry from the FCC relating to this matter. This proceeding may result in the imposition of financial penalties against XM or adverse changes to our repeater network resulting from having repeaters turned off or otherwise modified in a manner that would reduce service quality in the affected areas. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of this matter, or its significance to our business, consolidated results of operations or financial position.
