Sam, considering that the existing GPS system is so good,
why don't the American GPS managers
just add new features to the system?

Rather than hype "Interoperable"
to provide "better capabilities"
why don't they just add the "better capabilities"
to the American system?


Because, as you are fond of saying, they don't need to, when
commercial applications and business ventures do the job for them. The
GPS managers are infrastructure people. The business community is the
one that makes a change in standard of living that uses it.

You might want to look up "hyperlocality" in the business plans of the
top Fortune 500 companies, as well as on the blogsphere, Wired,
technorati, etc, etc, etc.

PD

I am pleased to see that, unlike many people,
PD understands that the best approach to success
is to win the trust and respect of the masses,
and to operate an open architecture system.

Trust and respect brings supporters.
Open architecture brings creativity.

If most folks in the world
do not trust allowing America to control the GPS
and Internet systems, they will migrate to alternate systems,
and so will the people who provide creative input to the systems.

The American GPS Managers understand this,
and they are making a strong effort to
keep America in control of global navigation.

Bush and the NeoCons
have made the world look at America
as a Troll under the bridge.

The American GPS Managers have a tough job
ahead of them, if America is to continue
to control the bridge gateway.

The moral of the story is:
"Don't eat your customers."
