LightSquared or Ligado, Interference with GPS Issue Has Not Gone Away


I’m not convinced 40 MHz of mid-band spectrum makes a huge difference, one way or the other, to the trove of mid-band spectrum being allocated for 5G. The Federal Communications Commission believes interference with the Global Positioning System will be minimal. The Department of Defense vehemently disagrees. 


As you recall, that was a contentious issue when Ligado called itself LightSquared. Not much seems to have changed, in that regard. 


The C-band remains the biggest new block of 5G mid-band spectrum being prepped for 5G use, representing about 280 MHz, plus the Citizens Broadband Radio Service, representing about 150 MHz of new spectrum.
