      Edited my last comment, I don’t think that article goes into much detail. It only really covers the objections, not the technical aspect ie poor filtering by cheap GPS devices.

      This article covers LightSquared’s claims of poor filtering by GPS devices: networkworld.com/…/wireless-lightsquared-says-gps…

      TL;DR GPS devices cut corners, however because they were established and so endemic across the industry, there was no practical way to fix them all and LightSquared was sent down the toilet.
