/Begin Tangent On the subject of LightSquared, I know quite a few people who belonged to that project and I think there's a lot more going on there than meets the eye. In the days following the DoD test for GPS there were a lot of outcries of fraudulent testing parameters that got thrown around and were never really resolved to anyones satisfaction. I still contend that low-orbit satellites can provide a potent and real alternative to the wireless systems we have today (or at least as a distribution path for backhaul). I'm still quite hopeful that the LightSquared kids will get a spectrum swap now that Obama has been settled in the office for a while. Here's hoping; it would be a net-boon for the whole wireless industry. /End Tangent
