Since they have not been launched yet, there is no technical reason a WAAS package could not have been put on there. Same with all the birds Optus launched over the past decade. (Remember, WAAS in the US also runs on commercial broadcast satellites)

They just have not been willing to spend the money. The birds probably aren't the biggest obstacle; it's the dozens of ground stations.

Bring on Galileo!
