As I understand it, Lightsquared began building out some market points of presence and suddenly TomTom GPS machines al went haywire and stopped working. This was driven from an improper clearing of the spectrum, which could really do harm to anyone the new Lightsquared essentially interferes with. Can it be overcome? Sure. Will it take lots of time and money to do it properly? Yep.
--------------------------
The satellite usage isn't the interference problem--it's the fact that they tried (and phil is desperately trying) to repurpose the spectrum for terrestrial use. Why is this significant? Because Phil knows that the spectrum would be worth 10x more minimum if it could be used for terrestrial. And the fcc wants spectrum to get utilized, so they were all for it--and knew there would be interference--but to what degree no one knew...until now.
