On June 8, 2020, Lockheed Martin filed a reply to Ligado Networks’ Opposition to petitions for reconsideration or clarification filed by Lockheed Martin and seven others.
In the filing, Lockheed notes:
“First, Ligado argues that the Commission need not address the fact that it should have designated Ligado’s applications for a hearing because Lockheed Martin failed either to comply with the requirements of section… Second, Ligado’s efforts to defend the interference complaint procedures are themselves deficient. In no other spectrum context—including those cited by Ligado—is the interfering party allowed to determine whether a complaint it receives is “credible” before taking action… Third, Ligado states that Lockheed Martin simply seeks to ‘rehash the debate regarding use of the 1 dB metric in this context, disagreeing with the Commission’s method of analyzing harmful interference to GPS.’… Finally, Ligado argues that the Commission is not obligated to conduct a cost-benefit analysis, and that in any event ‘[t]he Commission’s public interest analysis fully considered the costs and benefits associated with granting Ligado’s applications.’ This is wrong.”
