No, it's well and truly dead. Of the people I know on the political and
regulatory sides, not one thinks there is even the slightest possibility
of a revival. The only chance appears to be if, before the final "No"
is set in stone, GPS suffered an actual (not hypothetical) breakdown and
people died because the military or first responders couldn't do their
jobs.
In many ways, it's reminiscent of the LightSquared fiasco, which also
dragged on and on to its inevitable and universally foreseen (by people
in the know) conclusion.
You describe why I say it's clearly not dead yet.
The 26th Jan issue made people jump.
There is a raised awareness that signal redundancy needs to be achieved
one way or another. eLoran keeps getting mentioned and is being studies
by some.
I still doubt it will get of the ground again.
If it where available, it would help to serve some use. Won't do all the
things we need.
I hear both sides mumble. The re-investment is where it probably will fail.
Cheers,
Magnus
