Today GNSS is woven very deep into national infrastructure - CDMA radio systems, power generation, network time, etc, etc. Had the US elevated GPS from a US DoD system to a "NATO controlled" system in the late nineties that might have defused the drive from one or a few of the larger NATO/EU countries to build GNSS-2 that is now known as Galileo.
I think its a very good idea - for everyone including the US - that EU now builds a third Global GNSS system. Why do you think Galileo will not be free for the user of the open service? -- Björn On Mon, January 15, 2007 11:22, Rob Kimberley said: > I'm still not convinced about the long term viability of Galileo > especially > against the "free" GPS. > > :-) > > Rob Kimberley > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Poul-Henning Kamp > Sent: 14 January 2007 22:38 > To: time-nuts@febo.com > Subject: [time-nuts] Giove A has become "official" now. > > > ... but that probably only amounts to a PR effort, since the funding og > Galileo is still not found. > > http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMUGJRMTWE_index_0.html > > > -- > Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 > FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe > Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by > incompetence. > > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list > time-nuts@febo.com > https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > > > > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list > time-nuts@febo.com > https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
