Default Europe's GPS program in trouble.

This is the system that the EU put together to compete with the U.S.
GPS system, right? Did we ever find out why they don't want to use the
U.S. system?


It's a control issue. They don't like the fact that the US government
can alter the signals, for any reason, whenever they choose.


Problem is that our idiot bureaucrats already signed up to partner with
the US and granted full access to the satellites. What a bunch of idiots.

As dependence on the gpss grows, the reliability and accuracy of the
signals becomes more important than any country's national interests.



well, it seems that we already gave in ... :-(
