Here's one thing that's fixing to happen, if any interference is allowed to take place. All the large companies like Cat and Deere have been including GPS guidance for the operators for a good while now. Most of your surveyers now use GPS in about everything they do. If they are forced to go back to the old ways of surveying, can you imagine the hold-up's, in the large construction projects within our infrastructure, that this will cause? All of those hold-up's equal over runs on time, which means huge amounts of state and federal dollars having to be added to complate these projects. They use GPS in graders and dozers to aquire any grade angle that the specs call for, on top of where it supposed to be. The surveyers use it almost strictly now to do any of their work. I can also see it adding years to projects that is now underway, and I wonder if they have thought of any of this? Surely Deere, Cat, and most likely Trimble, have tried to explain this to the idiots in Washington?

Of course, my meaning of "use" here is that of "occupy".
