LightSquared plans to quadruple power of its network

In a sharply worded letter to top officials at the Defense and Commerce departments complaining about a leak of draft test results to Bloomberg News, wireless carrier LightSquared failed to include a key page from the company's Dec. 7 filing with the Federal Communications Commission. The omitted page said the company plans to quadruple the power of its network by 2017, which would make it 1 billion times stronger than Global Positioning System signals.
