EGNOS has been offering SoL service capability since March last year. The service is dependant on meeting strict minimum service performance characteristics based on the familiar accuracy,integrity,availability and continuity principle of GNSS. The service is capable of NPA and APV-I standards and all you need is certified kit and ops spec.

We are a decade behind the rest of the world here in Europe and it's mostly for reasons of ignorance and arrogance.

Anyone trotting out the selective availability argument needs to read US gov policy on GPS from 2000 and 2004 to see why EGNOS can offer SoL services.
