Re: Galileo problems?

They really have fallen off schedule then.  At least they have a lot of folks funding it to share the cost.

Re: Galileo problems?

I saw a report in the last week that the EU was going to be providing all the funding for htis now instead of seeking some private money.  Not sure how this affects the non-EU countries that had pledged financial support.
