LightSquared Blasts 'Rigged' Tests

Jan 18, 2012, 10:33 AM by Eric M. Zeman

LightSquared today said test results recently revealed by the Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing national executive committee were rigged by the GPS industry. LightSquared argues that the tests were conducted in secret, with out-dated GPS devices, and with an obsolete definition of "harmful interference" by GPS makers themselves rather than an independent lab. LightSquared is demanding that the Federal Communications Commission and National Telecommunications and Information Administration conduct a separate, transparent series of tests to validate LightSquared's own results, which show that its network can operate without interfering with GPS systems in a meaningful way.

"and with an obsolete definition of "harmful interference"

🤣

They are grasping at straws.

The FCC stipulation was 'no interference'...

LS is about to go under and take Sprint and their investors with them.

They thought they could ramrod this through with enough money spread around and if it does, then we need an investigation of the FCC itself.

Now all they are doing is pointing fingers.
Someone promised influence for money and didn't deliver.

LightSquared needs to give it up already.

From their announcement, their plan sounded fantastic, but I was always skeptical. Now it seems once they embezzled money from all these companies that are relying on a 4G technology to get their services a...
