#4 Maybe you are confusing LS, with Solyndra, Ener1, Beacon Power Corp, EnerDel, SpectraWatt, or any of the other N failed or failing green crony capital bets this admin has placed. Yeah, it's hard to keep track of them all.

#5 It doesn't interfere with the GPS signal. The problem is in GPS receivers that don't properly filter out the adjacent spectrum.

#6 You might be correct phil_b but the result is the same. Devastation of the existing gps system, including military and aviation systems. And billions of dollars down the tubes.

#10 phil_b: It does interfere. No GPS receiver filter can be sharp enough that the front end of the GPS receiver doesn't get overloaded by adjacent strong signals. The LS spectrum was reserved for low power satellite signals and LS wanted to use many more and far more powerful transmitters in that spectrum.
Falcone forgot that you can't legislate the laws of physics.
