"AP - President Bush has ordered plans for temporarily disabling the U.S. network of global positioning satellites during a national crisis to prevent terrorists from using the navigational technology, the White House said Wednesday. Full Story "
I hope the EU gets it's act together and launches their own band of GPS satellites soon. Of course, then will come the round of new devices that attach to both networks? But it'll be worth it. I've always found it worrisome that what is becoming a key navigational technology worldwide is owned and controlled by the US exclusively.And sure it's the right of the US to shut it down if it believes it is under threat, but given how things are going and the reach of Executive power, I think having an alternative would be good for all us law abiding citizens that use the thing everyday to get around and navigate or what have you. -Gel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - RUWebby http://www.ruwebby.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:140305 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
