"The United States, after the 11 September attacks, has now written to the European Union opposing the project, since it would defeat the usefulness of the US ability to shut down GPS in time of conflict."


Should it be said in the article that this reinforces the original motivation for Galileo in the first place?


Whose motivation, enemies of the US? If so, say it and cite it.


Also, I read somewhere that as of 2000 or 2001 there was no longer any difference in military and civilian signals (no "degredation"). Can anyone confirm this?
