LightSquared Says GPS Tests Were Rigged 186
itwbennett writes "Would-be cellular carrier LightSquared claims that the company's LTE network was set up to fail in GPS interference tests. 'Makers of GPS (Global Positioning System) equipment put old and incomplete GPS receivers in the test so the results would show interference, under the cover of non-disclosure agreements that prevented the public and third parties from analyzing the process,' LightSquared executives said on a conference call with reporters Wednesday morning."

I am sure that the FCC will let them go if they state that they will buy everyone on the planet brand new top of the line GPS receivers to get around this issue.
I'll support them as long as they replace my 4 GPS's with $1500.00 each units. Heck I'll be generous and let them cheap out with Garmin Zumo 665's Those are only $780 each.
The test sounds proper IMHO. (Score:5, Funny)
Besides nobody ever flew into a mountian because they didn't have a clear LTE signal.
