I read it. They are proposing more towers on the ground, with satellite

to cover the dead zones.

We already have satellite services covering the dead zones!!!

The only difference is the frequency band they want to use.

We're already getting Lots of signals from lots of satellites, but if

you read the technical specs show as to how many billions of times

weaker the GPS satellite signals are compared to _terrestrial_ towers,

thereby causing the " drowning out " of the GPS signals from the proposed

ground based stations, then I can't muster up any concern about their

satellites.

All the concern is going to be about the rollout of G3, G4, WiMax,

SmartMeters, and all the new towers and new frequencies they want or

need to service all the new toys.

Focus on the tower placements. Avoid urban areas.

It is definitely still better to be living in the middle of nowhere.

Like in the National Forest up the road, where there is no cell phone

service.

There should be similar places " out west. "

How fast was 3G? Kathy

The LightSquared network offers a maximum data rate of over 100 MB per

second,

 a

Boeing-built satellite that was launched in November 2010 into a

geostationary orbit over North America powers the satellite network.

Open Range provides WiMAX-based wireless broadband services to over

540 US communities

.. WiMAX offers long range network connectivity of up

to 40 Mbits per second (approximately 5 MB per second) and offers voice

and data services for consumers through its Freedom 4G modem. Open range

is headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado a

Lightsquared is not yet operational. There is a big controversy, because it

will interfere with GPS signals. The airline industry as well as the U.S.

military is very concerned about it. Per an Aviation Week article

--http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_channel.jsp?channel=busav & id=news\

/awx/2011/06/09/awx_06_09_2011_p0-334122.xml

-- the Federal Aviation Administration has concluded that if Lightsquared is

allowed to proceed, GPS is likely to be unavailable over the whole US East

Coast.

Because of this, it is unlikely they will be allowed to begin transmitting

any time soon.

But they tested the damn thing before they launched it, didn't they? Where were

these guys out of? Because if that's the case, our little mystery of the three

weeks at the end of October where the EMF reading around here (west-range

Colorado) was suddenly at _8_ and then dropped to legal level Nov. 1 is solved

and we need a good lawyer.

What's different w/ the LightSquared satellite & its terrestrial towers is that

it's what will be providing WiMax. Obama promised that 98% of the country would

have broadband Internet. The way he's providing it is to put 40,000

super-powerful 4G towers; about 1 every 10 miles, so that you can get hi-speed

wifi literally ANYWHERE, so there really will be nowhere to go. That's why I'm

concerned.
