It is a shortage of affordable mobile broadband services. As smart phones and tablet computers become more popular with students and businesses, consumers will quickly feel the effects of a looming spectrum crunch. It is because of my concern for this inevitable spectrum crunch that I want to register my opinion regarding an American company, LightSquared, which is poised to help us meet our broadband needs. LightSquared is poised and ready to build out a 4G-LTE network to expand access to wireless broadband, increase competition in the marketplace and give consumers new choices and lower prices. With LightSquared, telecommunications partners that lack their own wireless network or suffer from limited geographic coverage or spectrum can market and sell their own products using the LightSquared network. I understand the concerns surrounding interference between LightSquared's network and Global Positioning Systems. However, this country needs LightSquared to quickly build out a nationwide ground-based network and bring more mobile broadband spectrum online for consumers and businesses. Surely the FCC can find a way forward for the company to exist alongside GPS. To squander the opportunity for this new network is unacceptable. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Representative Scott Dieckhaus Missouri's 109th District cc: Senator Roy Blunt Senator Claire McCaskill Assistant Secretary Lawrence Strickling, NTIA
