I guess there’s no way to constrain these jamming signals to some reasonable perimeter? 400 miles of overspill seems like sloppy engineering.

"Don't be evil" comes to mind. I wonder if any company -- or for that matter, any software development organization, whether paid or volunteer -- can really avoid bad decisions when they get big?
