About 10 years ago, a company called Lightsquared attempted to obtain approval to offer internet services in L band, using frequencies adjacent to those used for GPS. There was a huge backlash to this because almost all GPS receivers were not designed to work with strong adjacent signals and would be overloaded. The combined voices of industry, users, and the DOD managed to kill the proposal.
Lightsquared was renamed Ligado, and is back. It appears they may get the permission they desired from this administration.
