Some of the new lobbyists are well-known on Capitol Hill and in national politics. Ex-House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt (Mo.) and former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) are both lobbying for LightSquared.

After tests found that LightSquared’s network did interfere with GPS devices — a big concern for the U.S. military

And the military has the most robust GPS equipment available. What this means is that the rest of us, who are all GPS users will be screwed.

“the GPS industry had identified an interference issue caused by their receivers”

So the passive receivers cause an interference issue with their transmissions - one not reported from other companies’ products?

How does that FCC requirement go, about devices not interfering with others, and accepting any interference from other sources? Sounds like a frequency issue, which LightSquared ought to fix on their end.
