, LightSquared CEO Sanjiv Ahuja claims that LightSquared has solved the problem of rural telecommunications, successfully addressed FCC concerns that its technology interferes with GPS devices, and will create thousands of jobs in the process. “The current nationwide wireless providers have failed to innovate and in the process have failed to keep pace with consumer and technological demands,” Ahuja said in the letter’s second paragraph.

It’s unclear, however, what Ahuja then implies two paragraphs later, after he introduces the “concerns” which have been raised about interference with GPS devices. He indicates his company isn’t at fault.

“Recently, concerns have been raised about interference with GPS devices,” Ahuja wrote. “We take these concerns very seriously. Despite the fact that the interference is caused by others’ inappropriate use of LightSquared’s licensed spectrum, we have been proactive in working toward a solution to the GPS issue.”

The “concerns” in question were raised by RTCA Inc., whose report to two House subcommittees in June concluded that LightSquared’s technology would block airplane GPS under 2,000 feet. After LightSquared developed an alternative plan, an FAA report claimed it would kill over 790 people. LightSquared then countered by partnering with a filter manufacturer and offering to use the technology to retrofit the affected GPSes.

Ahuja also claimed that the company has spent $150 million in designing its solution for GPS, which will address the remaining 0.5 percent of GPS interference. When it is completed, he said, it will bring 75,000 jobs over the next five years.
