Ilmarinen, you should keep in mind that the GPS signal is owned by the US government, and it is provided to the rest of the world on a gratis basis, and can be withdrawn and service denied at anytime when the US military decides (probably only in the event of conflict). Its primary purpose is to help our seagoing and airbound ships navigate, and our rockets deliver missiles into a pickle barrel across the ocean when we, or our friends elsewhere are threatened.

The interesting and sometimes useful commercial usage of the system that we have seen in the recent years is nothing but doodly squat when you ponder its real purpose.
regards,
sa
