"But, as this matter [LightSquared] has unfolded, the tone in a number of these publications has shifted to more of a focus on the interests of those who feel that the approval of, or acquiescence to, the LightSquared plan is inevitable and is somehow positive. Lately, examples of nearly blatant support of the LightSquared plan have been conveyed and expressed in some surveying publications. There’s nothing wrong with covering all sides of an issue, but it is not lost on readers that there has been a disproportional increase in pro-LightSquared advertisements, and pro-LightSquared-advertiser-driven editorial content touting potential fixes, demonizing of the GPS industry and community, and painting this matter as a “done deal.” There are so many facets of this issue still completely unresolved outside of the relatively narrow focus of the surveying community—yet the battle for the hearts and minds of surveyors rages on, often overlooking (or avoiding) these issues."
