Editing All-Channel Receiver Act (section)

== Broadcast radio ==

It has been proposed in 2009 to require [[HD Radio]] receivers to be included in all [[satellite radio]] ([[SDARS]]) receivers, in response to the [[monopoly]] created by the [[XM/Sirius merger]].  All three use [[Property|proprietary]] systems, and there have been no considerations to require the inclusion of [[open standard]]s like [[FMeXtra]], [[DRM+]], [[DAB+]] or [[Digital Multimedia Broadcasting|DMB]], which are compatible anywhere outside of the United States.  A [[notice of inquiry]] (a predecessor to a full [[rulemaking]] proceeding) is before the FCC as [[docket (court)|docket]] 08-172.  A [[bill (law)|bill]] had been submitted to the [[U.S. House]] as the '''Radio All Digital Channel Receiver Act'''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://radiomagonline.com/digital_radio/hd_radio/fcc-may-mandate-reception/|title=FCC may mandate HD Radio reception by satellite receivers|work=radiomagonline.com|access-date=2009-05-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101127112417/http://radiomagonline.com/digital_radio/hd_radio/fcc-may-mandate-reception/|archive-date=2010-11-27|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/rep-markey-launches-bill-for-hd-radio-mandate-in-all-satellite-radios.html|title=Rep.
