According to the John Deere article, the higher performance GPS receivers, such as those used for agricultural application and IFR navigation have wider front ends to obtain more precise information from GPS signals. The LightSquared transmitters wouldn't pose such a problem if they were in orbit.
Exactly.. Deere (and others) designed based on the general understanding of what the spectrum would look like. Mostly satellite radiated (where, as others have noted, you're limited to a few kW) and a few "fill-in" transmitters to handle "urban canyons" and the like.. low power in general, and not in the middle of a farm field in any case.
The L^2 scheme turned that on its head.. lots of high powered terrestrial transmitters, etc.
