There is more than enough, but its political control over the services which is the major pissing match.

The high accuracy stuff has been leap frogged for commercial users there is now a multitude of services which can be used free with a suitable receiver.

The main military user who was also a high contributor is now banned from using the service.

Budget and income predictions are now just fantasy land for Galileo. It just going to turn into a colossally expensive transport taxing system and the only way they can make it work is by making it law all cars for the Eu market are fitted with it. A colossal percentage of that market is now evaporating.

We shall see if Galileo survives. If it does it will only be for political reasons.
