LightSquared Files Petition for Declaratory Ruling, Asks FCC to Confirm
Its Rights as Spectrum Licensee

RESTON, Va., Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LightSquared today asked the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to confirm LightSquared's right to
use the spectrum licensed to the company by the federal government. In
addition, the company asked the FCC to confirm that commercial GPS
manufacturers have no right to interference protection from LightSquared's
network since they are not licensed users of that spectrum.

"The one inescapable conclusion from two rounds of independent testing is
that the incompatibility problem is not caused by LightSquared's network,"
said LightSquared's executive vice president for regulatory affairs and
public policy Jeff Carlisle. "It is clear that GPS devices are
purposefully designed to look into LightSquared's licensed spectrum, and
given this evidence, we believe decision-makers should consider
LightSquared's legal rights as the licensee."
