3 Dotrs+ 11—1;09 S2358 SAT—MOD—20101118—00239 182010003539 LightSquared Subsidiary LLC 848 Camino De Levante Santa Fe, NM 87501 January 31, 2012 Federal Communications Commission Received & inspected 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 FEB —7 2012 Dear FCC: ECC Mail Room I am writing to you to express my concerns about LightSquared GPS spectrum use. I do not mind LightSquared competing in the GPS spectrum range but there needs to be agreement with the GPS manufacturers and LightSquared about the use of the spectrum. It is not fair to consumers who rely on GPS for use in car navigation devices such as myself who use a TomTom GPS unit and may have to be concerned about interference from LightSquared use of the spectrum. I have paid good money for this GPS unit and need to be assured that it will continue to work as advertised when LightSquared gets to use its spectrum because LightSquared also cannot be given a monopoly over the use of the spectrum. However, I understand LightSquared concerns and feel they need to work with GPS manufacturers to provide updates for consumers current GPS devices so both devices can work together in harmony. These updates ideally would be in the form of software updates to the devices from the Internet. However, the GPS manufacturers should have some sort of buyback program for older GPS devices that cannot be updated with software so we do not have a huge trash problem from older GPS devices. These are my concerns and my proposed solution to this problem. Sincerely, Dan Weiser
