We all know that LS2 is fighting a desparete and last chance uphill battle, but the logic of some of the points in this article make sense, and possibly shows some bias on the FCC's part and the involvement of the GPS industry. What to you people think? Will LS2 get a second shot? or is this the death throes of a dying company?

I think LS2's cries are justified, but are probably falling on deaf ears.

I think the big GPS makers are going to keep dumping money into lobbying against this. This may be another story of corporate greed and corruption squashing innovation. I hope it gets approved, nothing wrong with lots of LTE spectrum out there...

Seems likes they just don't have enough friends in high enough places. It is pretty clear that there is little to no interference and that the GPS industry had plenty of time to make sure that they wouldn't be effected whenever this spectrum gets used.

On a side note... Given the trouble that LS2 has had if this spectrum goes back up for sale who would buy it? Is there anything other than GPS that it could be used for?

No, I think that any conspiracy theories are unfounded. GPS manufacturers have nothing to gain nor lose if LightSquared truly can ameliorate the ATC interference issues. But this is a legitimate and serious technical problem. And if LightSquared cannot prevent interference beyond a shadow of a doubt, then LightSquared has no choice but to abide by the original regulations of its L band satellite spectrum.

The FCC has allowed the public to voice their opinions on the matter; if you would like, please voice your opinion in support of LS. The FCC is asking for public opinions.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
