Your GPS receiver is not going to be able to "see" the current satellites. All of the other people who share this spectrum do so "horizontally" if you will, this frequency band isn't reflected by atmospheric effects so omni-directional emitters are not visible to antenna that are looking "up" to the sky. The problem with this proposal is that the company wants to broadcast DOWN from satellites which these antennas will see and it will reduce their sensitivity to neighboring signals in the same band. Since you need 4 - 6 satellites for a good tracking lock on GPS, the likelyhood is that you won't be able to get that because of inter-band interference.
Can you fix it? Sure, you can add a $10 - $50 front end selector on the GPS devices to increase their selectivity to GPS only bands. That will raise the cost of "having" GPS across the board and legacy devices won't see the benefit so they will become useless.
It is hard to imagine that any technical voices at the FCC thought this was a good, or even reasonable, idea.
And on a humorous note, "U.S. Space Force Gen. John Raymond." I chuckle that the Space Force already has generals but of course it does, but not ones that "came up through the ranks, from Spaceman 1st class."
Chuck your comments are always filled with great information and humour. Thank you for your years of contribution to HN so that lurkers like myself can be informed and entertained.
