Interesting reading, particularly after some of the technology I saw in Madrid at WATM week before last. Amazing the foresight we had in hindsight these days.
mgahan,
As the redheaded one would say:" Please explain".
Also, I am not clear, which satellite is providing the present trial signals?
Are these a trial to replace the existing differential GPS services that we use for precision positioning and ship navigation, ie: AMSA or Omnistar services?
Tootle pip!!

PS: Having had a quick scrute, I see it is Inmarsat providing the satellite payload, I can only assume that somebody has worked out it might be cheaper than the current differential GPS we have had, in one form or another, for a long time.
