The question is, why/how are they interfering with the GPS in your phone?

If they’re doing it because their transmissions are on frequencies they should not be or if they are a secondary user of the frequency and GPS is primary, they are at fault.

If it’s because even though they are using the correct frequencies the GPS receivers are poorly designed anda re picking up frequencies other than those the GPS satellites send, they have a pretty good case.

Those frequencies were designated low power satellite specifically because they would interfere with GPS if high power was used.

Yes, expensive filters could resolve the problem with GPS but they were not included because the adjacent frequencies were designated low power so they wouldn't cause interference.

What would the FCC do if a low power radio station decided to broadcast at 50,000 watts so they could make more money and it caused interference with established stations in the area? Would they make you replace every radio you already own, or would they enforce the original restriction in broadcast power?

The question is, why/how are they interfering with the GPS in your phone?

From what I gather they bought the satellite bandwidth but want to use terrestial antennas as repeaters using that frequency to enhance broadband reception.

I think the frequency that is meant for satellites being amplified via terrestial antennas is what is causing the interference.

Some consider it a backdoor move to horn in on the expensive terrestial wifi network.

I understand it's more complicated than that, but when you get down to the nitty gritty I think that's the issue.
