James A. Kirkland of Trimble Navigation, Former General Counsel of Lightsquared has Motive to Discredit Lightsquared.

"Jim Kirkland, vice president and general counsel at Trimble Navigation which has opposed LightSquared's operations as currently designed, said the tests showed that LightSquared's network clearly cause interference with GPS.

"There is not a solution here," he said. "In our view, it's time to stop squandering resources on this and look for alternative spectrum for this operation. What LightSquared is trying to do is a great thing. It's very important that we have more competition in broadband and more spectrum in broadband wireless. However, there is one place in the satellite band where this does not work," and that is the spectrum next to GPS, he said."
