kirkland, what is trimble navigation, and what is the coalition to save our gps? >> guest: sure, peter. trimble navigation is the leading manufacturer of gps equipment for commercial and industrial use. so we focus on high-end industrial applications like agriculture, construction, survey, you name it. the coalition to save our gps was founded of after an initial fcc decision last january granted a waiver to lightsquared to proceed with its buildout of its network. and we're, our mission is to educate policymakers on the gps industry and the implications of that proposal and that we've been very active on that. >> host: jim kirkland, last week on "the communicators" we talked with sanjiv ahuja, the chairman and ceo of lightsquared, and essentially what he told us was he understood the concerns, and what they have done is they have moved their spectrum usage as far away as possible within their spectrum from gps units to mitigate the danger. >> guest: sure. so, you know, the issue here is that the technical evidence so far in front of the fcc still shows interferen
