Federal Communications Commission officials said at a briefing for reporters that they cannot guarantee a review of wireless venture LightSquared will be completed by September.

LightSquared has previously said they expect to receive FCC approval by mid-September to launch their mobile broadband network. But FCC officials said they are not using any timetable for completing their analysis, and insist they never told LightSquared the review would be completed by then. FCC officials said that while the upper portion of LightSquared's spectrum clearly causes problems for GPS devices, more analysis is needed on the lower portion of LightSquared's spectrum.
