Have you any idea what "temporary" means in governmentees?
Have you any idea how dependent some applications have become on GPS?
They may be able to turn it off, or even degrade it, but they can't
"end" it.
New airplanes are shipping with GPS systems that replace ground based
ILS for precision landing. I'm not sure where the FAA approval stands
on that, but it will be the standard for the future. All sorts of
transportation businesses are using GPS to track trucks, etc. Rescue
vehicles are becoming dependent. Rental cars, OnStar, the list goes on.
