I was going to comment on the +/-8m accuracy being a let-down, but apparently that’s the accuracy of GPS too.
Comment on FCC chair says we’re too dependent on GPS and wants to explore ‘alternatives’.

It’s a joke, since GLONASS is the Russian system. E-LORAN would be ironic, considering that the U.S. demolished its LORAN infrastructure around 2009. What are the odds that the best backup just happens to be Starlink?
