ROFLMAO. Oh here is the the spokesman for the US being all in favour of
private enterprise & thus pushing his entirely
"state-mil-industrial" GPS over the "free market
choice".

Oh dear George I was wondering if you'd wander into this hole.

ROLFMAO once more.

Yes I am sure the EU will bail it out with taxpayer money however it will
be a bail out unlike your US entirely state based solution.

I am sure that the next stage will be to take the US mil to court in the
  WTO etc. for offering a state sponsored free service & thus
"dumping".


After all can't have illegal state aid on that sort of scale can we now....
