Hi

Three systems all sharing a common frequency band. Since this is straight
front end overload type jamming - I'd bet it'll take out all three systems.
The Lightsquared stuff might even be closer to one of the other systems than
it is to GPS. If it is, add another layer to the conspiracy theory.

More or less what this would mean is that the rest of the world gets fine
GPS coverage and it stops working inside the US.

That is why the Russians and EU are each spending billions to build
their own systems.  They are smart not to trust the US to manage GPS.
Soon there will be three systems up there and most receivers will be
able to make use of all three.
