Well, sorta. I think the argument mis-states the actual history of GPS. The civilian GPS "industry" was an unintended outgrowth of military R+D. Spectrum allocation was aligned with the military requirements, not civilian or corporate needs. It was a "national interest" allocation, not "public interest".
