I bet that LS will suddenly reappear in the media as a highly-praised new broadband alternative.

Don't bet on it. GPS is essential for everything from guiding military smart bombs, airline navigation, and synchronizing telecommunications equipment [landlines, cell phones, ISPs, etc.].

And IF LS DOES get approval - AND an airliner crashes due to LS interference. you know what Obama is gonna say ... ?

"Bush's fault ..."

Yeah, it will be both Bush's fault and the fault of the evil GPS manufacturers who (in perfect 20-20 hindsight) could have installed filters for pennies a device to avoid the problem. Sick how easy it is to script this stuff.
