Dear Mr. Genachowski,

The United States is a world leader in satellite navigation technology.
GPS is a global utility that has brought tremendous benefits to many
fields of endeavour. It also supports a very profitable industry in the
United States. The American taxpayer has probably invested in the
neighbourhood of $30B in GPS to date. You are considering allowing
Lightsquared to make GPS unusable in its home country. The longer this
farce goes on the more it looks like the United States is a backwater
where decisions appear to be made through influence and trickery rather
than common sense and rigorous technical analysis. It is past time that
Lightsquared should be told to go away and use some other part of the
spectrum.

Sincerely,

Ross Bowie
