I'm no electrical engineer nor do I understand much of the problem. I do understand that LightSquared (Falcone) had to get a conditional waiver from the FCC but had to prove GPS jamming wasn't an issue, they couldn't do that.

FCC May Kill LightSquared's Plans for Wireless Revolution

I also know from reading that Falcone made donations to Obama and Democrats for expedited approval. What was their hurry? I can't feel too sorry for a company going bankrupt (if in fact they do) that was trying to pull off a scam to make millions if not billions and using political connections to do it.

Politically-connected LightSquared Pushes Wireless Internet Plan despite GPS Interference Concerns

They were fully aware of the problems but tried to get away with it but were nailed.

I just read your links ('LightSquared Fiasco' post #22).

Thank you for posting them, and the original story also. All were very interesting reading.
