Sounds very much like another Solyndra with White House involvement.

The fact that Berry actually personally invested in this company, and threatens national security makes this the #1 scandal IMO.

The difference between Dems, enviro wakcos, race hustlers etc. etc is they sue the crap out of the gov then get paid for the gov not being willing to fight to up hold the law, while the conservatives go to their jobs and let the rule of law be chipped away by those folks.

I’ve just been studying for my Amateur Radio exams. Different ranges of frequencies (”bands”) are allocated for different purposes. It is the responsibility of the transmitter to ensure that their signal is confined to their assigned band. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the receiver to ensure that their equipment picks up the correct frequencies and rejects incorrect ones. If these guy’s transmissions stay inside the band assigned to them they’ve got a case. If they interfere with the receipt of transmissions in other bands they don’t.

LightSquared’s lawyer will probably be Eric Holder, moon-lighting on government time.

They bought low power sattelite bandwidth, that is what they have the right to use it for.

They have no right to interfere the GPS in my phones, tablets and car nav not to mention every one else’s gear and the military.

They are a bunch of politically connected rat bastards.

If LightSquared is correct about GPS receivers, does their supposed right to that part of the spectrum trump the greater good?

As an RF engineer: Lightsquared is correct; GPS receiver designers have left off front-end filters that would remove signals from adjacent frequency bands, because those bands were unpopulated, and because such filters cost money. Once the Fedgov started selling off adjacent spectrum, that assumption no longer held.

However, with millions of GPS receivers in the field that have these problems, the least LightSquared could do is conduct research into techniques (beamforming, DSSS, etc.) that would minimize interference on public highways and near airports.
