This whole affair looks like some sort of government bungle by the
FCC. The good news is that it is not too far along and a lot of
people are stirred up including the FAA and military. There are way
too many people reling on GPS these days to risk compromising its
accuracy. My best guess is that the managers of this proposal knew
from the beginning that it had little chance of success but were using
it as a gambit to eventually be allocated radio spectrum at some other
frequency.
