[RFI] More on LightSquared

[doc at kd4e.com]

I believe that their proposal uses a loophole in satellite
regs.

They are pretending to be a satellite service with ground-
based "fills" but are really a ground-based service where
the satellite is merely a technique to avoid proper regs.

They are proposing some absurd number of 44KW transmitters
all over the country.

It is clearly a frighteningly-corrupted process with no
regard whatsoever for ethics or safety and it needs to be
stopped.

The company has connections inside the current administration,
if that provides some perspective ...
