This blog has talked about the technical aspects of limited 'bandwidth' in the past. There is a certain spectrum that can carry the LTE (Long term evolution) or 4G wireless. The amount of spectrum available has been limited - and last fall LightSquared and others made a deal to purchase some spectrum from cable operators. Now it seems that the FCCis trying to stop the use of that spectrum.
The article notes: "IDG News Service (San Francisco Bureau) — The FCC's proposal to kill LightSquared's planned LTE network would violate the fledgling carrier's property rights by taking away its spectrum and destroying its multibillion-dollar investment in mobile broadband, LightSquared will argue on Friday in a formal comment to the agency."
Recently it was noted that AT&T were charging more and limited data transmissions because of the increased usage of the spectrum (largely due to iPhones and other smartphone usage). Users with unlimited data plans are facing limits as the resource is being squeezed.
It will be interesting to see what LightSquared and the FCC do - the pressure to increase access to the spectrum is continuing to grow!!
