This does however create some more urgency for LightSquared to make a decision on how to proceed (presumably by disposing of the spectrum) because otherwise additional costs will have to be incurred pretty soon.

It's subject to the usual requirement to deploy a substantial network, or would lapse at the period end, which will be soon. Since LS is unlikely to do anything in this regard, would the FCC grant an extension, or just get back the spectrum to proceed with a refarming plan?
