On the other hand, what can be said about the wisdom of engineers that designed a product that cannot withstand any interference from adjoining spectrum holders? It has been known for at least the last 6 years that LightSquared's predecessor was going to occupy that spectrum with a land based system.
Does the GPS world really have much to say about the interference if LightSquared keeps their transmitters clean and out of the GPS spectrum? -Chuck Harris Jason Rabel wrote:
This is kind of in reference to other LightSquared articles that all seem to make mention of, "LightSquared's proposal for a network of 40,000 ground transmitters..." These 40k ground transmitters to be installed... Are they just going to be additional antennas on existing cell towers, or is LightSquared planning to construct their own towers in new locations? Reason I say... Cell towers are located for maximum coverage and the most dense population. Likewise, when traveling between cities they stick them close to the interstates so people can have reception while traveling. A blind man should be able to see that problem. <rant>I guess the rest of the world will be able to enjoy GPS, while the US pays for it (but can't use it).... But hey, watching people do stupid things on youtube is infinitely more necessary for the US economy than a critical navigation system deployed in countless cars, boats, planes, and anything else that moves.... This should have been killed off a long time ago, and the frequency spectrum stripped away from LightSquared just for the mere mention of doing something as stupid as they are trying to do...</rant>
