That is precisely why the questions are important. Somehow, Falcone was
able to morph a low-impact satellite service into this monster with 40,000
powerful L-Band transmitters blanketing the country.
And he could not have done it without powerful help. So who and how
matters, a lot.
As I said, we've lost LORAN-A. If GPS becomes unusable, standards of time
interval will go back to roughly WW II. WWVB may be OK if you are really
patient and have a local Rb or Cs, but the days of quick and accurate
setting of local standards will be over.
And note, that LightSquared is liklely to put more "services" in urban
areas, where many of us live. Hence the interferance will be most severe
whare the most users live.

==================
I still can't understand how this ever got to be such a big deal, or why
it
continues to be. Even if the military weren't involved, the FCC has
always
been the 500-pound gorilla cracking down on everybody from drunken ham
operators to national networks and 2-second "wardrobe malfunctions." Why
don't the FCC and the Navy just get together and say, "screw you,
LightSquared, GPS was fundamental infrastructure before you were a gleam
in
your founders' eye, so find a way to keep your wavelengths away from ours
or
we're going to drive you so far into debt Greece will look like Warren
Buffett." That's the treatment everybody else gets, so whose golden
heinie
is so kissable here, and why?
