I have to agree with your comment here Said. Javad got into bed with Lightsquared and now things are not working as planned he is throwing his toys out of the pram.
You have to chuckle sometimes at what goes on in industry! Good to see there are still a few of us here in the real World.

A simple WAAS upgrade on a GENERAL AVIATION aircraft already costs about $8000 fully installed. This includes an antenna upgrade that I remember to be about $3000 installed for the antenna itself. $500 per plane to fix the issue? Yeah right. In what world does he live in? bye, Said In a message dated 3/6/2012 16:38:28 Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: The cost of such retrofits is under $500 per aircraft. It would cost less than $20M to fix any existing issues within the industry and only take a few months to complete. Please also note that all existing GPS receivers are semi-obsolete and will soon need to be replaced anyway (with or without LightSquared) because current systems do not track the modernized signals of GPS, GLONASS and Galileo. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
