 From today's telcom trade press:

>The FCC said late today that the International Bureau is proposing 
>to vacate LightSquared, Inc.'s conditional authorization and 
>indefinitely suspend its ancillary terrestrial component (ATC) 
>authority in the wake of the National Telecommunications and 
>Information Administration's recommendation that LightSquared's LTE 
>(long term evolution) network can't operate as planned without 
>causing harmful interference to government GPS (Global Positioning 
>System) receivers.

This is just a brief summary of a long article that has some nuances 
that are not represented here.  The FCC intends to release a public 
notice tomorrow.  It is not necessarily over, but it is looking better.

Best regards,

Charles
