Peter, why are people there anti-GPS?



Most likely because in its current form, GPS availability is controlled by
the US Gov't. If the roles were reversed, I might also share this
sentiment.


And, the U.S. pays for it all.

Greg,

Which is why "Galileo" is being developed.
It irks the Europeans to no end that a functional, accurate system can be
offered for FREE - all the more so if it's paid for by the US.


Actually, it irks some few but big European companies that they are not
profiting from GPS. That's why they make the EU ask them to buil their own
system...

The way things are SUPPOSED to work is that end users and common
citizens are
supposed to pay high user fees for everything, to support windfall
profits
for a few "sweetheart" companies, who in turn support political
parties.


The way it works in the U. S, we put the payoffs in the Transportation
Bill. Everyone helps pad the Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing et al. bottom
lines and the national credit card rockets into unexplored galaxies of
debt.

Regulations to make this a de facto requirement will be forthcoming as
soon
as Galileo shows signs of becoming operational.


Exactly. Watch for international carriers to be forced to install two
different systems as the U. S./Euro ****ing contest goes on and on.

A one-sided ****ing contest?
