Lightsquare cell signals now confirmed to block GPS signals:

That leaked report?

Yeah, Lightsquared not too happy about it.

If Iran downed that drone by sending false GPS signals to trick it into thinking it was in Afghanistan, that's pretty impressive:

It would either mean that the drones don't use the military encrypted stream, that Iran has cracked it, or they've figured out how to resolve it at a level acceptable for flight (ie. like civilians eliminating S/A through post-processing).

Lightsquared cell network will likely interfere with the $8 billion system used for keeping airlines in the skies:

How the FCC approved Lightsquared is beyond me.

Lightsquared barred by FCC from operating:

Guess that's what happens when you buy satellite spectrum and try to sneakily make it terrestrial.
