Which just shows how GPS is becoming a key factor in the economic and social infrastructure of society.
It's availability will soon be seen as being as important as electricity or the internet.

Aah! fishermen. I remember a Russian "trawler" anchored in a NATO exercise area being asked if they needed fuel. The Aldis lamp blinked back "Not if the exercise goes as planned."
