BusinessWeek is carrying an article today that says that government
tests showed that the proposed LightSquared mobile service caused
interference to 75% of all GPS receivers tested.

There is big money behind this. I'd recommend writing your elected
representatives and voicing your concerns.


If LightSquared succeeds in this spectrum land-grab, it would be a disaster
for GPS users, in particular the aviation industry and the military. There's
some BIG money behind them - some big swinging dick investors - and they're
trying to get their stake in the ground early enough so that they can hope
to succeed against any resistance. Write your representatives.
