Telecoms in America: A dark day for LightSquared (2/16/2012 4:48:13 PM)
AMERICAN telecoms firms are clamouring for more wireless spectrum. Hence the interest in LightSquared, a firm which had hoovered up a chunk of airwaves formerly used by satellite operators. It planned to build a high-speed terrestrial network and rent it out to others. But on February 14th America’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said no.The FCC’s announcement was prompted by a report from another government body, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), which concluded that LightSquared’s technology would interfere with navigation equipment used by planes and other moving things. The company protests that the testing process the NTIA has used is deeply flawed. It is hoping to convince the FCC to take the NTIA’s findings “with a generous helping of salt”.Its efforts are likely to prove futile because the FCC isn’t in a position to conduct its own tests. “I think the writing has been on the wall for LightSquared for a few months,” says John Fletche

The acquisition had simply been badly managed, it said, leading Areva to overpay. Last December the company took a €1.46 billion ($2 billion) charge against the acquisition, resulting in a huge operating loss for 2011.Areva had suspected a plot. It ordered an external study of the UraMin deal in 2010, which suggested dodgy goings-on. Then in 2011 it hired a Swiss private-detective agency, Alp Services, to investigate the circumstances of the transaction. Anne Lauvergeon, Areva’s boss at the time and France’s most prominent businesswoman, was not informed of the probe. Last month she announced that her husband had been spied on by Alp Services, an
