Comment on Another List Posing as a Post: My Most @Lastfm Spins of 2011 by JC

Hi, Amy! Sorry to lose track. I’m living 100 miles from nowhere these days, which is good for traffic but not so much for keeping up with music. I still find myself humming your Catamount track.

Hi JC,
Do you remember me? Songwriter from Nantucket? I came across an old email
from you and wondered how you are. Glad to see you are still into the music scene & I like to see what your picks are!
We are still on Nantucket and still making music. I’ve been playing a lot
with my brother and sister and have even gotten my husband and daughter up
on stage!
You were always encouraging to me, I remember you fondly and hope you are
doing well.
Warm regards, Amy

Comment on Broadband Briefing: LightSquared vs GPS by JC

As widely reported this weekend, the PNT EXCOM informed National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) that this goose is cooked:

“Based upon this testing and analysis, there appear to be no practical solutions or mitigations that would permit the LightSquared broadband service, as proposed, to operate in the next few months or years without significantly interfering with GPS. As a result, no additional testing is warranted at this time.”

John,

I couldn’t agree more – broadband is definitely a class where homework is rewarded and if you don’t do it, you’re stuck!
