It _is_ a bit unfortunate that WAAS is using the same frequencies to create
pseudosatellites, which is essentially spoofing GPS, and it's not a good idea
to have spoofing technology in such widespread use, no matter what the
justification.

WAAS does not use pseudolites. It merely uses the L1 frequency to
transmit the WAAS data.
