The article cites a report, without giving access to it, and doesn't state whether the interference was caused by LightSquared's high or low band. Previous rounds of test, released by the FCC, show that the high band causes problems for most existing GPS receivers but the low band doesn't. LightSquared's revised plan is to activate only the low band initially. Now just how much "free" service can be offered on the LightSquared network, especially limited to only half its spectrum, is a good question. >On Sun, Dec 11, 2011 at 10:27 PM, Rogelio <[email protected]> wrote: > > Lots of fluff, but if they pull this off, this could be to mobile > > broadband what Skype was to telephony and Kazaa was to music business. > > > http://www.fiercemobilecontent.com/press-releases/lightsquared-and-skype-co-founders-freedompop-partner-offer-free-broadband- > > Nothing on their web page yethttp://www.freedompop.com > > -- Fred Goldstein k1io fgoldstein "at" ionary.com ionary Consulting http://www.ionary.com/ +1 617 795 2701 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
