LightSquared Goes Global; GLONASS, Galileo May Be at Risk, Too

"Recent events, some of them summarized here, may appear to have dealt
setbacks to LightSquared, the boundless opportunist of wireless
broadband that just happens to interfere with GPS. But the company has
not run out of moves yet. Would you, if you had $20 billion at stake?
The latest gambit, led by lawyers and cloaked in jargon, appears to be
an end-run around the U.S. government to appeal to the International
Telecommunications Union, which has ultimate and international authority
over spectrum. Watch out, GLONASS and Galileo — and U.S. troops
operating in foreign theaters.

"GPS World has received copies of three “fact sheets” authored by two
lawyers and a strategic consultant. The documents are addressed to ITU-R
WP 4C, the International Telecommunications Union Working Party that
handles mobile satellite services (MSS) and radio determination
satellite service (RDSS spectrum) and orbits. One document is titled “
Compatibility between Complimentary Ground Componenet in the 1525–1559
Mhz and 1626.5–1660.5 Mhz Bands and Other Service.” All three documents
appear to be cover sheets for longer treatises, and their language and
citations are not entirely clear to me, as my legal and regulatory
background leaves something to be desired".

Screw the ITU. This is an issue of "National Security" and if our
Government can be bought-off by some sleezebag private company for
profit, we need to look to Russia for some hunter-killer satellites.

While Lightsquared's SVs can be handled in orbit, certain CEO's can be
handed off to Mossad and the CIA for some on-the-ground wetwork. This
is an ATTACK by a private company on the Security of the Nations of
Planet Earth. Who in their f*ing right mind thinks they are going to
get away with it. Raise your hands.
