GPS World has learned that several federal agencies have written official statements to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration regarding the operational and economic impacts of the LightSquared terrestrial signal on GPS services, and has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with NTIA to obtain them. One source who has seen the agency letters termed them “very powerful,” and stated that the NTIA has not forwarded any of the letters to the Federal Communications Commission, which is weighing the matter. This source characterized the NTIA as “sitting on them” as part of a “massive bureaucratic game,” and further stated that Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa and other Congressional representatives are getting “stonewalled” by the FCC in their efforts to investigate the matter.
