Sen Grassley Seeks GPS Info

Federal Communications Commission (FCC), 445 12th Street SW, Washington, DC, 20554, United States

Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) continues to try to collect information from the relevant parties about the Federal Communications Commission's waiver to would-be 4G wholesale wireless broadband provider LightSquared, this time from GPS companies. And according to Grassley's letter to the companies, he has assurances from all that they will comply.

But that still won't be sufficient to remove the hold threat on two new FCC commissioners the senator has pledged until he gets the information from the FCC he has also been seeking. The senator, concerned about the services potential to interfere with GPS, was rebuffed by the FCC when he asked for internal documents about the waiver process, and by LightSquared and parent, Harbinger Capital, when he asked them for documents regarding their communications with the FCC and Obama Administration.
