Last December I submitted a Forbes article, "Lightscrewed: How Washington Whipped Phil Falcone"(http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3382580 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3382580) which described the big money politics on both sides, and also mentioned the economic argument that LightSquared wouldn't have gotten such a deal on their spectrum purchase if the GPS interference problem hadn't been obvious to anyone who did their EE due diligence.
I suspect there's a lot of money being spent on PR to get these articles out there.
