Aero-News Quote of the Day

“We propose to work with [the National Telecommunications and Information Administration] to draft new GPS spectrum interference standards that will help inform future proposals for non-space, commercial uses in the bands adjacent to the GPS signals, to strengthen existing national policy protection of adjacent band spectrum. We will ensure that any such proposals are clearly communicated with stakeholders and are implemented without affecting existing and evolving uses of space-based PNT services vital to economic, public safety, scientific, and national security needs.” Source: John Porcari, Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation, in testimony before the House Transportation Aviation Subcommittee.
