Review: What on earth? Offer small airports that lack radar to use GPS-like services to guide airplanes? That is gibberish. Airports don't care about GPS...pilots do. And airports don't build the approaches, their FAA or equivalent authorities do. The author obviously misunderstood something:GPS and termianal services radar are two completely different and non-interchangeable things.

Review: Another "me too" project offering no technical improvements. The EC has better uses for funds than this make work project.

Review: It is high time for Europe to show independence from the U.S. and start a more accurate, less expensive system. Unfortunately for the U.S., China wants to use the Galileo for its I.C.B.M.'s

Review: This is a great initiative. I can imagine devices which could tap into both GPS and the free Galileo signals to deliver great accuracy

Review: Actually, the free service will be accurate to about a metre, while the paid service will be accurate to within centimetres.

Review: This is another example of a European cooperative effort ranged against the U.S. going solo. There's a need for European nations to cooperate. It's deja vu, if you recall the Boeing and Airbus competition.
