European Commission Adds Voice to LightSquared Opposition

摘要

The company planning a satellite-terrestrial broadband wireless network in the United States using L-band radio spectrum continues to face pressure from a broad swath of U.S. government agencies that want the company's plans to be put on indefinite hold pending a resolution of interference issues with the U.S. GPS navigation system. Whether Reston, Va.-based LightSquared's recent agreement to abandon, for now, use of the spectrum that is closest to GPS will be enough to clear regulatory approval is unclear.
