    The FCC has unanimously  APPROVED A CONDITIONAL WAVIER fast-tracking LightSquared to install 40,000 transmitters on cell towers for wireless communications in frequencies on either side of the GPS L1 band. The transmitters are authorized to operate at 15 kilowatts of power. 

       UPDATE 15 Jan. 2012:  Congress and Federal Body address GPS interference threat (HERE) and (HERE)

       UPDATE 15 Dec. 2011:  Feds again say LightSquared interferes with GPS (HERE)

       UPDATE  4 Oct. 2011: LightSquared might take legal action over GPS.  The company said GPS receivers using its spectrum aren't protected fromLightSquared's interference.  Read article from Computer World (HERE).

      UPDATE  16 Sept. 2011Sources say general was pressured on testimony about White House-backed project (HERE).

      UPDATE 21 June 2011 LightSquared has worked out a deal with satellite provider Inmarsat to use frequencies lower in the spectrum band that are further away from the GPS spectrum. These frequencies are not expected to interfere with GPS gear.   Read more of LightSquared's 'solution' (HERE) and (HERE).  However, Garmin and other companies say the 'solution' isn't valid (HERE).

    LightSquared’s 4G LTE application proposes to fundamentally change the FCC's own rules of usage of the L1 Band spectrum (1525 MHz-1559 Mhz) from MSS (very low power, space to earth signals) to fixed, high power terrestrial broadband service.

     (THIS) is the statement from the DoD.  You can contact the FCC and your representatives (HERE).
