FCC seeks public comment on Sirius' Honolulu plans

Advertiser Staff

Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. is seeking Federal Communications Commission approval to provide a radio service in Honolulu using ground-based repeater technology.

The application, which was filed last November, remains in a public comment period and has not been granted, according to the FCC.

Sirius, which recently announced plans to merge with rival XM Satellite Radio, wants temporary authority to provide its satellite based radio service to subscribers from a 429-foot tower located in Honolulu.
