The Ghost of LightSquared Appears To Be Determined To Haunt/Harm Aviation
As previously noted, a revamp of the highly criticized LightSquared program has appeared under a new name -- Ligado. Worse; despite ample evidence of its dangers (especially to aviation interests), the FCC has greenlit this project after heretofore having kept it at bay... and many on the aerospace community are none too happy about it. Ligado Networks has plans to deploy a low-power terrestrial network in the L-Band, but the technology has a number of documented issues with interference with GPS utilization... and the DoD, in particular, is ready to go to war to stop it.
