GPS Interference Test Results May Not Slow FCC Decision on LightSquared Deal

"Despite evidence of the likelihood for harmful interference to nearby
GPS and other GNSS L1 signals, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) appears likely to push ahead with approval of a revised
LightSquared Subsidiary plan to build a dense U.S. network of
high-powered ground transmitters for wireless broadband service.

"As clock runs down for filing comments on LightSquared’s revised
request to begin service using a 10-megahertz chunk in the lower portion
of the 1525-1559 MHz band, participants and observers of the
controversial plan say that the FCC appears to be trying to issue a
decision by Labor Day or mid-September at the latest. The schedule
appears to be driven more by LightSquared’s need to meet financial
milestones than FCC processes for due diligence, they say".
