description
Late last year, the FCC issued a decision granting a company known as LightSquared, a conditional waiver to build high-powered terrestrial transmitters and use a radio frequency adjacent to the lower-powered Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite frequency. Because these frequencies are close to each other in the radio spectrum range, the high-powered, terrestrial-based transmitters will drown out or significantly interfere with the weaker GPS signals, rendering GPS receivers unusable. By clicking on the link, you can send your Member of Congress a message that you would like them to voice support for the GPS and to make sure it remains unaffected by interference.
