That's a good start. But I won't rest easy until this idea is dead.
When talking about densely populated area, it says "LightSquared ground stations are expected to be spaced 400 to 800 meters apart."
I had no idea that they had planned to make the stations that dense. I had heard that the closer you get to the stations, the less reliable GPS is, but that kind of spacing would shut down GPS across all major cities.
...and buried deep, deep, deep down there!
Joe, stealing this thread. I will be at my place in WallyWorld, CT June 22 thru June 24th. If your around, I would like to talk with you about getting my property surveyed, corners recovered. Need to replace some fence lines come this fall, want to make sure I know where my lot lines lay. If your interested, pls send me a message here, or at my email: [email protected]

>> LightSquared ground stations are expected to be spaced 400 to 800 meters apart.
That has to be a typo; there's no way their business plan could pencil out with such an infrastructure density.
FCC grants LightSquared an extension until July 2 to file report.
Did I miss in the article any commentary from surveying profession?
I can not believe that Sanjiv Ahuja CEO and his cronies have spent a billion dollars have and only in last few months has any testing been done?
The nerve of the Sanjiv Ahuja he has only one satellite in orbit , how many GPS satellites these days?
