According to leaked reports from union test drafts, LightSquared's robotics causes "harmful interference" to the majority of GPS receivers. Addressing the allegations, LightSquared called the conclusions "patently false." It added, "We are outraged by the illegal leak of incomplete direction data to news organizations. This breach attempts to draw an inaccurate conclusion to negatively stimulus the future of LightSquared and narrowly serve the mtier attentiveness of the GPS industry." The company believes tests are inconclusive because they were completed at power levels up to 15 times higher than those that would be used in practice. By blank its commitment to work at a lower level to minimize interference, the company believes the conclusions are erroneous. It's consequential to note, however, that the NTIA will make the final resolve about how many devices passed or failed, rather than the conclusions makers. And that value judgment has not yet been made. Despite the ongoing dispute, the company has already managed to secure 30 partners ranging from Sprint to Best Buy, all hoping to cash in on a abraham's bosom $7 per gigabyte price point. The FCC has given LightSquared the go-ahead to build the network, but will not allow for activation until approving the final round of direction testing.
