FCC gave LS inside track until called on it by GPS industry

The investigation is why the FCC was giving special treatment to Lightsquared until the noise in the press got so loud they had to backoff. The fact that the FCC eventually crushed Lightsquared is irrelevant. They were forced in to that.

The article is correct however. This is a purely political move, an attempt to score points, while nobody investigates the companies with the REAL influence at the FCC and with Congress....

Easy target, questionable motives, election season. Need we say more.

Congress = Sleaze

Anyone serving in Congress is a walking, talking exemplar for SLEAZE. Why should we ever expect anything related to reasoned thinking from that grand collection of pond scum.

Re: FCC gave LS inside track until called on it by GPS industry

So they're a scapegoat, basically.

It's all too convenient for this to be anything other than "We're doing this because we were bought by the incumbents and we are in election season."

Meanwhile, everyone's (not so) favorite incumbents get off scot-free with basically no backlash, because it's election season and everyone suddenly cares about their jobs now.
