Although there is much to find fault with here in the USA, I find it interesting that the United States can spend over $14 billion on technology, then make it free access for the rest of the world, and then get "slammed" for having "control" over the system...
I am all for the EU building their own system, but there must and has to be a way to make it complimentary and redundant with the current system, thus making everyone safer. Keep all the control you want, but we all really need to work in harmony regarding "global" systems... (And that includes the US as well...)
The LAST thing I want is more damn boxes in the cockpit that require learning two sets of instructions to do the SAME damn things.
