The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is currently allowing public comment on a proposal by private company NextNav Inc. that would reconfigure the 902-928 MHz band widely used by amateur radio and Meshtastic, and replace it with a backup GPS system...

At the very least, this product is likely to disrupt range and performance of Meshtastic devices- but the implications could be far wider. It has the potential to cripple the network and interfere with other frequency usage including that of tollbooth operators and other LoRaWAN devices.

Here is a link to a write up on the Proposed Changes on 900 MHz Band:
