[time-nuts] LightSquared Bankrupt

[jim s]

The FCC needs to bow to laws (physics) and properly protect the GPS 
spectrum.  Despite pretty colored charts on the wall, the actual 
operation of some systems don't pay attention to the charts.

A friend of mine put a UHF tv station on the air many years ago, and had 
the same problem, actually worse.  His transmitter facility had a pager 
companies antenna on the same site as his transmitter.  They put in a 
lot of filtering but the level of his signal which leaked in was still 
significant enough to require work to keep the pager system going.  It 
was a type which had answer features, so had the pager answer back to 
various sites.

it was his (the TV station's) problem not the pager companies.  They 
also had to pay to replace some repeaters because the new station would 
interfere with that too.  Remote sites were using the frequency to relay 
other tv channels into remote areas (over mountains) and didn't care 
what frequency was used as long as they got their signal down.
