A GIOVE-A satellite has successfully broadcast from orbit, and the Galileo Joint Undertaking is full-speed ahead. http://www.esa.int/esaNA/galileo.html
The system is spec'd to be GPS and GLONASS compatible, and able to provide sub 1m real-time accuracy plus other bells and whistles like value-added downlink data channels. The Chinese are in on this, too. Very interesting stuff that the US seems to be missing the boat with again.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
