the fcc decides to intervene on lightsquared
August 10th, 2011
I’ve taken an interest in LightSquared recently.
Today InfoWorld reports that the FCC “won’t allow LightSquared’s proposed mobile broadband service to interfere with GPS signals, even though the potential interference would be caused by GPS receivers picking up signals outside of their designated spectrum”.
So, the devices are in error, but the FCC is going to prevent LightSquared from interfering?
Sounds like the FCC should be going after the receiver manufacturers to ensure their systems don’t bleed over, rather than after a company not operating on GPS spectrum.
Wait, I forgot: that’d be too logical for a government agency 😐
