Also, in times of war it might be irresponmisble to leave Gallileo switched on so that an enemy can use it with its superior precision.
US GPS for civiliajn use works with redcued precisipon, compoared to military use. Whether it makes a different whether a Tomwhawk slams into the gorund 5m nearer or further away form me, I have my doubt, however.


Worse it is your infrastructure depends desperately on GPS/Gallileo/Glosnass/Baidu, and then you want to switch it off due to a war, and then you find that you cannot do that without causing an implosion of your infrastructure at home.



Murphy's law: give it long enough time, and everything that could happen, sooner or later will happen.
