"Scooping" the Post and the Washington Business Journal

Yesterday's Post, in "XM's Mark on Northeast D.C.," subtitled "Fate of Headquarters Uncertain if Sirius Merger Goes Through," and the Washington Business Journal, in "Merger would put D.C. base in question," have long articles about the possible impact on the city's economic development agenda if XM Satellite Radio merges with Sirius Satellite Radio, and if most of the jobs decamp to New York City.

I speculated about this very issue about one week ago, on Tuesday, February 20, 2007, in the blog entry, "XM, Sirius Satellite Radio to merge (?)."

While the articles discuss XM as a leading revitalizer in that area, my memory is that Qwest Communications owned the building first, and then sold it to XM. I could be wrong though.
