Good riddance to bad rubbish indeed. grin

I'm also sure that not just GPS manufacturers, but companies and branches of the US government dependent on GPS, farmers (who use GPS-enabled tractors)...and PEOPLE LIKE US didn't hurt in letting the FCC know our feelings on this. grin

It's like Opera...

These political death-scenes are like Opera.

in Verdi's La Traviata, you know in the first few minutes of Act 1 who's gonna die.

But it takes her until the last notes of Act 4 to do it.

In a Verdi opera particularly, it's the horns that do 'em in -- and in La Traviata, it takes the horns half an hour to do their job.

In the Opera that is LightSquared, the horns are warming up, but we've got at least half an act to go yet before the curtain comes down.

Opera

Let's hope this opera plays out according to the script.
