LightSquared Signs AirTouch Communications
AirTouch Communications? This is a scam.
First off, what is this, 1999? If you're going to run a Ponzi scheme, don't do it with an already damaged-goods brand.
I'm going to go out on a limb and do Phonescoop a favor by editorializing that this is clearly a scam (think Zer01) to prop up LightSquared's legitimacy when in reality it is a ponzi scheme. LightSquared is signing up BS investment partners to prop up their own worth in order to sign IOU's to early investors.

Scam? As much as i joke about it, I think LightSquared is giving it all they got on repurposing this slice of spectrum. There are billions to be made on the off chance they get buyoff.
I doubt any of these contracts have upfront costs anyway. The whole industry knows that LightSquared is on shaky ground, and I am sure each one of these contracts have contingency clauses. These companies are probably coming out of the woodwork signing $0.01/GB deals (which LS promptly bends over...willingly), hedging that if LS actually is approved, they are flung into a market with juicy margins where they can easily compete and steal business from the big guy(s)* (*note that this 's' is bound to drop off soon the way things are going!).
Oh..wait ...
