That’s liberalism. The fix is in. Either you are connected, or you are screwed.
The users of GPS constitute most of the upper crust int he US. This is not going to happen, unless Obama wishes to receive no votes at all in 2012
When people wake up one day and their dash GPS can’t tell them when to turn right, will they know why?
I hope the first air crash due to a blocked signal takes LightSquared into bankruptcy.
More of Obama’s Crony Capitalism at work.

If I read this correctly, the product interfers with aviation and military GPS. Aviation is bad - we’re talking crashes. Military is worse - degrading military effectiveness. All so Obama to pay back a crony.
Obama really is a traitorous POS.

WHAT.

*UCK.
I’ve been following the Lightsquared story, mostly because I’m middle-to-last mile and have received a hard lesson on the world of wireless internet. When you don’t have a landline provider and depend on an aircard, you learn *very* fast.
I’m always hopeful the private sector will come through with a decent solution (please don’t mention satellite. It’s not broadband), but they’ve been dragging their feet in favor of quick profit cities for the hottest and fastest tech. And I understand that. But as more and more educational and commercial resources go web-only, the problem is getting very serious.
Honestly, I hope they get this signal issue resolved. I’m in favor of the Pentegon and GPS customers first, but maybe there’s another solution in the works.
We are GPS dependent at this point. It’s not going to happen. I’ve been doing GPS for 20 years...Only used by the top echelon...besides the military and surveyors, just the opposite.
My sense of direction isn't too bad, and I would rather see Biden or Boehner President.

Like most leftists, Hussein has great contempt for capitalism...unless it benefits HIM!!!!
One Question: If is is THIS EASY to block both civilian and MILITARY GPS, what is to stop the Russians and Chinese..maybe even Iran... from similarly jamming the GPS signals?
My husband is a private pilot and has been getting information on the subject from FAA bulletins.
Apparently this software was first tested WITHOUT filters. WITH filters, the FAA is confident problem goes away.
As ready as I am to assume that Zero is behind every possible attempt to deprive us of some freedom or other, the military and the FAA, to say nothing of the TSA and Garmin (and all the cell phone companies), would not allow something like this to be turned lose -
I am reasonably confident that this is a non-issue.

Wow!
The sole legitimate function of the FCC is to prevent this sort of thing.
