Ligado Networks has filed suit against the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense, the Department of Commerce and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, claiming that DoD violations of its spectrum rights make it the victim of the “largest uncompensated taking of private property by our nation’s government in modern times.”
In the suit, filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, Ligado says that in spite of its legal spectrum rights granted by the Federal Communications Commission, undisclosed DoD systems are using those airwaves and DoD has continued to operate them, making the spectrum essentially unusable by Ligado.
