Exactly Piers. Tongue position noted. Will they technically be
infringing upon neighboring spectrum? No. Will it affect getting a fix
anyway? Probably. Will they blame it on the old GPS's? Yes. But how
could they have addressed a problem that didn't exist? Undoubtedly new
models will have to have filters which may or may not degrade service.
This is a bigger concern for professionals in the geosciences who use a
very accurate gps signal such as surveyors. Another problem is the
siting of the new disruptive towers. There are a limited number of
suitable sites which are already populated by other competitors towers.
These facilities are dependent on accurate timing signals from the gps
system. I suspect that they are already cranking up the heat.
In the end the FCC will be blamed for the whole mess.
