High precision receivers will be collateral damage.
"Test results show this lower block of frequencies is largely free of interference issues with the exception of a limited number of high precision GPS receivers that are specifically designed to rely on LightSquared’s spectrum. In its original plan, LightSquared planned to move into this other frequency block as its business grew over the next two to three years."
We were on the chopping block from the beginning.

What a thorough report.
They will need a survey for each and every one of those 40,000 tower sites. Just say no at ANY price.
I wouldn't consider the Surveying, Construction and Agricultural users a "limited number". We may not be as numerous as automotive and cell phone users, but there are certainly more than 3 of us out here with high precision GPS...
A lot like politicians
As a percentage of all citizens, politicians are a very small percentage. What they do or don't do, however, has a far greater impact on the other nearly 100 percent than vice versa.
What do you propose Holy
Do you really not want politicians?

> Do you really not want politicians?
I like politicians about as much as I like bankers.
But they are a necessary evil......:'(
What do you propose Holy
Would you really want a world without politicians and bankers?
Keith
I'd like a world without criminals. If you consider Bankers and Politicians a "limited few" then yeah, why not.
Davey
Only if you live in a dream world!
What do you propose Holy
I am simply putting forth the thought that the percentage of total users ploy is irrelevant compared to the value of the service depending on that small percentage.
Perhaps we should enact a law that all politicians, immediately upon their first election, are to be sterilized so that they cannot reproduce. They are obviously a very insignificant fraction of the total population. Therefore, WE can do anything to them we wish.
That's the quality of logic being applied by LightSquared towards surveyors and others being impacted by their takeover attempt.
What do you propose Holy
That is high school rationale.......

Nope, sorry, I live in the private sector.
