US giant Sprint Nextel has reportedly granted billionaire Philip Falcone's struggling open-access Long Term Evolution (LTE) venture LightSquared a new six-week extension within which to gain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) clearance to operate its controversial 4G network, which seeks to use non-traditional spectrum in 1.4GHz and 1.6GHz bands. According to Dow Jones Newswires, Sprint has given LightSquared until mid-March to resolve FCC concerns that its network interferes with GPS satellite navigation devices and aircraft flight safety equipment; the extension follows the 30-day reprieve given to LightSquared in late-December
