For the past two years, Charles Ergen, chairman and co-founder of Dish Network, and Philip Falcone, manager of Harbinger Capital Partners, have been doing battle in the Chapter 11 case of mobile communications company LightSquared Inc.  LightSquared, primarily owned by Harbinger and controlled by Falcone, holds spectrum rights potentially worth billions of dollars, but was forced to seek bankruptcy protection in 2012 following its failure to obtain crucial FCC approvals.
