U.S. Electronics Files FOIA Complaint vs. FCC
U.S. Electronics, which formerly manufactured satellite-radio receivers for Sirius Satellite Radio, filed a Freedom of Information Act complaint in federal court against the Federal Communications Commission in an attempt to get information on XM Satellite Radio and Sirius. The company said it filed numerous FOI requests on the companies' compliance, or lack of it, with various conditions placed on them when the FCC granted the pair the only two national satellite-radio licenses. USE added that the FCC complied only in part in some cases and not at all in others and denied it expedited treatment, prompting the complaint to the court.
