This is one reason why Europe will launch their own satellites.

What happened to GLONAS? Might be cheaper to pay the Russians to
rejuvenate that.

I was going to ask that. I've never even seen a GLONASS receiver. It's still
out there though with fairly recent launches.

There were supposed to be super-accurate receivers on the market which
used both GLONASS and GPS as each system has different inaccuracies.

But the problem still remains. You can be reliant on GPS or on GLONASS
or on both, but you're still reliant on one or two foreign governments.
