[Boatanchors] LightSquared

[rbethman]

Whom wants to be on final approach to a landing with LightSquared 
screwing up the GPS signal that the cockpit is using GPS for navigation?

Commercial Aircraft use GPS for navigation, with Augmentation from the 
airport.

Where is YOUR aircraft going to end up?

General Aviation is using GPS more and more to allow for direct routing.

Sure sounds like BIG problems to me!
