Last October Sprint finally uneveiled their LTE plans, noting that in addition to partnering with Clearwire Sprint would partner with LightSquared, hopefully using LightSquared's 1600MHz spectrum for LTE FDD. That of course depends on LightSquared's ability to manage the increasingly-ugly problems they're having getting regulatory approval, which hinge in turn on whether or not they can fix their network's potential to interfere with GPS signals. In early January Sprint gave LightSquared a thirty-day extension to work out regulatory headaches. That didn't help, so Sprint has now given LightSquared until mid-March to sort out their problems. It's not clear that the six-week extension is going to help, given that the last time we left LightSquared, they were busy claiming the GPS testing process was completely rigged, so one gets the sense things won't be resolved anytime soon -- if at all.
