Oh, that's a bit better than what Brian had painted it as.  My faith
in Ed Markey is restored!  :-)

Since they already have to pay most of the same license fees for the
satellite patents, adding on the iBiquity patent portfolio isn't
likely to significantly increase the cost of the units.

I may still write a letter.
