MLS will not have the advantage for long...

GPS is presently being evaluated to CAT III Autoland standards with complete curved lateral and vertical guidance. The ground augmentation required is vastly cheaper than an ILS or MLS, and very little additions (if any) are needed in the cockpit.

Within 10 years it will allow CAT III Precision Approaches to almost any airport!
