Measure the intrinsic importance of GPS to both national and global infrastructures by this gauge: after a year or more of careful planning, it will take a further 12 years to wean a community of more than 300,000 professional, industrial users from a technology that was never intended in the first place. Not designed-in, nor ever officially announced, sanctioned, or promulgated.
