Furchtgott-Roth Economic Analysis of NextNav's Proposal

This analysis considers the economic implications of the NextNav proposal and (1) estimates the costs associated with the proposal; (2) observes that NextNav’s current PNT offering, which it touts as a backup for GPS, and other alternative PNT solutions outside of the Lower 900 MHz band reduces the potential economic benefits of the proposal; and (3) assigns a lower value to the proposed creation of a new 15-megahertz channel. This analysis concludes that NextNav’s proposed re-banding provides no net economic benefit to the American people. Instead, this study concludes that the costs to the nation far outweigh any possible benefits.
