There is considerable information on this subject and verifying the accuracy has proven difficult given the recent changes and differing scientific opinions. Recently, LightSquared changed their proposal to use the Mobile Satellite Spectrum (MSS) below the GPS spectrum but this has not been studied by the technical working group. Given the broad use of GPS technology in everything from cell phones to precision agriculture and the widespread concern expressed by the GPS user community and several federal agencies, it only seems prudent to further study this new proposal. Please assure the investments made by farmers, foresters and this Department in GPS technology will be protected. Steven W. Troxler Commissioner
