Abstract:

Today, a government technical group reviewed the findings from last month's testing of LightSquared's ; proposal to provide new broadband service. The final test report will be sent to the National Telecommunications and ; Information Administration (NTIA), which advises the President on telecommunications policy, and represents federal ; agencies to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). ; Preliminary analysis of the test findings found no significant interference with cellular phones. However, the testing ; did show that LightSquared signals caused harmful interference to the majority of other tested general purpose GPS ; receivers. Separate analysis by the Federal Aviation Administration also found interference with a flight safety system ; designed to warn pilots of approaching terrain. ; The findings were presented to the technical steering group which represents the nine federal agencies that make up ; the National Executive Committee for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing. Over the next several weeks, ; the final analysis of the findings will be completed and a final report will be transmitted from NTIA to the FCC.
