On Wednesday, October 12, 2011 at 1:00 p.m, the House Committee on Small Business held a hearing titled LightSquared: The Impact to Small Business GPS Users. The purpose of the hearing was to examine the impact on small businesses that may result from LightSquared's use of its spectrum to provide broadband service near the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Small businesses, including farmers, construction contractors, surveyors, and the general aviation industry, rely on the accuracy of GPS. Potential interference with GPS raises significant concerns to these small businesses.
