LightSquared Prepping for Bankruptcy
This Is So Wrong On So Many Levels
Lightsquared, like any other company, purchased spectrum from the government, in good faith, with the intention to operate its business as any other operator in this industry,

If we want to get away from facts, and into speculation, knowing the rep and pasts 'deals' of Falcone, I'd bet money that he thought he would grease enough palms to make it happen and the FCC actually...

Some people on thus site would rather antogonize others about not knowing something. Rather than just simply inform, and move on.
There's a lot of rude people on this site. That's why I've been going to
Android Central & Phandroid more recently.
People are mostly just plain and simple wireless tech enthusiasts at those sites.
