FCC revokes LightSquared's approval for broadband system that interferes with GPS

http://j.mp/wYXv53  (New York Times)

   "The F.C.C. statement revokes the conditional approval for the network
    given last year. It comes after an opinion by the National
    Telecommunications and Information Administration, which said that
    "there is no practical way to mitigate the potential interference at
    this time" with GPS devices. The telecommunications and information
    agency oversees telecommunications policy at the Commerce Department."

An appropriate and correct decision.
