I think the key idea is that the receiver can't build a brick-wall filter. Even if the transmitter stays within their assigned band, a strong enough signal near enough to the receiver channel will leak through the filters. At the FCC level, there has to be coordination between the frequency allocations, the signal power the receiver is expected to work with, and the expected signal power at the receiver from the transmitters on nearby channels. If the Lightsquared frequency assignment were farther away from the GPS frequency we wouldn't be having this discussion. Some other users might be complaining, but if their application used stronger signal levels at the receiver it might be easier to find a workable solution. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
