[time-nuts] latest on the lightsquared 'saga'

[Bob Camp]

Hi

There's obviously major fuel behind this thing. I'm willing to pass up GPS
underground. It's GPS out in the open that is my main concern. IF they are
going to use this for "last mile" connect to homes it will indeed be
everywhere and anywhere. IF that's the case, you loose all sorts of GPS
stuff. 

I'd hate to see my GPSDO collection wind up sitting next to the Loran C
stuff out in the shed. 

Bob

Tunnels wouldn't be such a great thing, as many of them have GPS
transponders
built in so that you can continue tracking as you pass through the tunnel.

The administration has made it a major priority to bring broadband internet
to everyone's Crackberry.... It looks like they are going to do it
regardless
of the consequences.
