[time-nuts] From GPS World - Lightsquared has been given the goahead

[lists at lazygranch.com]

You left out IBOC, especially IBOC on AM at night. The FCC brass has zero technical knowledge.

It is not cynicism if it is the truth.

The previous head of the FCC was none other than the son
of Gen. Colin Powell: Michael K. Powell.

The same Powell who allowed Verizon (and other telco's)
to stop sharing their lines and as a result made the
price of DSL skyrocket.

The Powell who pushed for BPL despite the ARRL's data
showing massive interference.

That's just one instance of FCC being in the pocket of
big business.

Not to mention last month's controversy about
net neutrality (where FCC caved in).

So, no cynicism. Just the truth.
