I read somewhere a while ago that the FAA had lost interest in GLS until further notice, without a reason provided.

Essentially this meant that GLS installation in the US would only proceed with private funding.

CAT III GLS approval would presumably improve interest in the technology.

One would think that the absence of sensitive and critical areas would provide an economic benefit to CAT III GLS with improved runway utilisation in low visibility conditions.
