“There is NO ONE PERSON at any company whos job it is to shut off consumer GPS. “

Actually, there is. I used to do command and control for GPS/Navstar. The USAF can turn it off within minutes. Given the command, about 3 minutes. I don’t know where you got your information, but mine comes directly from experience working with GPS.

Mine comes from AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, et al.

Not “mil-spec” by any stretch of the imagination. I don’t think there is any MILSOP that calls for an immediate shut-down of GPS even in an instance where they don’t want civvies to have access to it.

Because there are still contractors and responders who use civilian GPS that need to get their shit together when the lights go out. I don’t think there is any plan to “shut it down, shut it down now”.

Correct me if I’m wrong.
