As of June 15th: Light Squared asked for an extension before their deadline was up and they were granted 2 more weeks – a final report is now due July 1st 2011.

As of June 10th:  Light Squared testing so far has not bode well for them to prove that their Radio Frequency will not interfere with GPS.  See this recent article New Light Squared Setback.
