Lightsquared is a technology company that was proposing a buildout of wireless airwaves that would destroy the GPS network, it was located very close to the same spectrum that the Current GPS Systems use including DOD, Farm and Aircraft users.
It appears they lost there bid to cram this technology into use and now there attempting to get the DOD to SWAP airwaves frequency with them which is akin to getting Iran and Israel to play nice....Im glad its not going to happen as it could have cost all or anyone who uses GPS if these types of devices are arbitrarily applied and then allowed to flourish. After the Digital TV revolution and channel shakeup, Large companies such as Google, AT&T and others bought up the wireless spectrum that was available for auction. Lightsquared was one of them who thought money could just force whatever they wanted to happen without regard to anyones Loss, US the little folks .....good riddance Lightsquared !!!
