  Concerns have been= expressed about the possibility of LightSquared services interfering with existing GPS capabilities.  On June 30, 2011, LightSquared submitted a final report of the technical working group comprised of representatives fro= m LightSquared and the GPS Industry Council.  This report, required as a condition under the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Authorization an= d Order, identified potentially significant interference between LightSquared operations in its =E2=80=9Cupper band,=E2=80=9D and a number of legacy GPS receivers.  Some interference issues were also identified for the lower= 10 MHz band of spectrum owned by Lightsquared.  In conjunction with the report, LightSquared has identified certain steps it can take to mitigate interference, such as freezing land-based use of its Upper 10 MHz frequencie= s adjacent to the GPS band.
