Comment on How The FCC Plans To Destroy GPS – A Simple Explanationparent

Comments

What about this article is bullocks? Would you please elaborate on it? The only thing for aviation is:

"The results are even worse for the aviation GPS. The FAA has essentially discontinued support for the old LORAN electronic navigation system in favor of GPS, and now LightSquared has proposed a system that essentially disables GPS in exactly the areas aviation needs it most."

The author is agreeing with you in that it would be a disaster for both commercial and non-commercial.

Was the article modified since you posted your comment?

I scanned the article, rushed to judgement about the context, and totally missed that part.

Basically I was that guy on the internet I complain about.
