How will it end? The usual way: another corporate takeover of an area
that should be tightly regulated to protect the public's interest. And
we'll all probably have to subscribe for payment to some future
commercial GPS service.

That seems overly pessimistic. If there is enough grass roots
opposition, the proposal as it presently exists will be defeated.
That's why it is important that everyone write.

My best guess is that eventually Lightspeed will be forced to barter
with the FCC to get the use of some other frequencies.


Just more god damned government interference with free enterprise.
Let's hope Obama and his minions have read the tea leaves and keep their
hands off.
They just want to kill jobs.
They'll kill the Lightspeed jobs, and kill all the other jobs which will
be created by the marketplace to adjust to the new reality.
That's how the free market works.
Anybody who says otherwise is a commie and should shut their traps.
And move to North Korea or Cuba too!
