Seems pretty ridiculous; every other business can adapt to change. Why doesn't Mays mention his use of local sales agreements, LMAs, etc. to "own" more than the cap in a market? As to his claim of 150 sat channels, those include a lot of channels no one cares about. When CC converts all of their stations to HD, they too can have a bluegrass channel.
Besides, call me crazy, but I'm not sure about satradio. High costs for marketing and operations, all while I see Tempe, AZ building a huge citywide wifi network in my backward. For $29/mo, you can go anywhere and use it. Anywhere... like your car? It's a lot cheaper to put deliver audio through the internet than through satellites that require a user-end equipment investment. Of course, the Bay Area has been plotting their rolout for awhile now.
Once we have people driving around with internet radio, they'll be SO much competition than satradio could ever produce. Every stooge has his own internet show. Of course, CC could also beg the FCC to create a new band?
