"The problem with all of this testing so far is that nobody is officially talking. I doubt we will ever know the military results from White Sands/Holloman (but I believe I can guess pretty good) and the commercial manufacturers are not talking because nobody wants to lose a marketing edge."

"When one understands that the density of the 40,000 proposed LightSquared towers is very similar to that of cell phone towers, it’s not difficult to understand the large-scale GPS jamming these towers would cause. Huge urban areas would be essentially blocked from using medium- and high-precision GPS receivers, sub-meter as well as centimeter-level accurate GPS equipment."

My vice president of estimating has been keeping up to speed with this to make sure the VTCA make their voice heard and has seen an article where the military grade positioning went from gnats a$$ to over 13 feet in error. D.O.D. is not happy and congress is getting an earful. He's supposed to bring me the article to read.
