LightSquared to FCC: "Screw GPS -- It's OUR Spectrum!"

"Embattled wholesale satellite broadband contender LightSquared has
taken off the gloves. The company has asked the Federal Communications
Commission for a "declaratory ruling" confirming its right to use
spectrum licensed to the company by the FCC. Not only that, but
LightSquared wants the Commission to confirm that GPS makers-who have
been complaining of interference risks for months-lack any legal basis
to ask for interference protections. "It is clear that GPS devices
are purposefully designed to look into LightSquared's licensed
spectrum, and given this evidence, we believe decision-makers should
consider LightSquared's legal rights as the licensee," declared
LightSquared public policy vice president Jeff Carlisle in a press
statement released today."

One word regarding LightSquared's attitude on this issue: "JERKS!"
