I like that, I may steal it if I get a chance. ;-) > Warfighters, international users, commercial users, and civil users are all "stakeholders" and need their mention. Just like in the Academy Awards (I'd like to thank the Academy, my producer, my family, my hairdresser, etc). I suppose that missileers, the original consumers of GPS services, fit in the warfighter category. Ah, stakeholders, what's the definition of a stakeholder? Someone who didn't pay for something, but thinks they have a right to it? Or, someone who did pay for something, but has less of right to it than the people who paid more for it? Or, someone who did, or did not pay for something, but is under the impression that someone said they had a right to it? > And, you forgot improved capabilities.. That's not just efficient..

Transit? What about celestial observations. Like you say, can I sign up for, and then only pay for, the bronze standard, if that is all I really need?
