[RFI] Mobile phone expansion could disrupt key weather satellites

[EDWARDS, EDDIE J]

Reston, Virginia, seems to be the home of bad technology ideas for RF Interference:

1. Nextel iDEN on interlaced 800MHz SMR channels interfering with public safety users.
2. LightSquard (Philip Falcone) on L-band interfering with GPS satellites.
3. Now Falcone rebrands failed LightSquared into Ligado Networks to wipe out weather satellites.

Some folks just cannot learn from past mistakes.
