LightSquared will revolutionize the U.S. wireless industry with the creation of a nationwide network that will offer both cellular and satellite service, providing ubiquitous access across the U.S. LightSquared's network promises to expand access to wireless broadband, increase competition in the marketplace, give consumers new choices, and, ultimately, lower prices.
As a wholesale-only operator, LightSquared will deploy an open 4G-LTE wireless broadband network to be used by existing and new service providers to sell their own devices, applications and services - at a competitive cost and without retail competition from LightSquared. The deployment and operation of LightSquared's network represent more than $14 billion of private investment over the next eight years.
