It might be a bit of an experiment, but LightSquared is proposing a spectrum sharing plan as part of its effort to resurrect its business plan.
To avoid interference, LightSquared proposes to share spectrum that is currently set aside for weather balloons used by the federal government. In exchange, LightSquared said it would permanently relinquish its 10 MHz of spectrum that is directly adjacent to the frequencies used by GPS receivers.
LightSquared wants to combine the 5 MHz it uses for satellite service at 1670-1675 MHz with frequencies in the 1675-1680 MHz band.
FCC officials might want to approve the proposal just to see how it works, since there is some thinking wider sharing of spectrum might be possible in many other bands.
