I think it is strategic value. There are many things that
could happen to a satellite based system ranging from a really bad solar
CME to ASAT weapons and jammers so it has been recognized that a back up
is needed and like it or not Loran is about the only system out there
that will work.

news is often a different spin!
I wish to hell this organisation ( in which I own stock) would get its
corporate act together.
In a recent article written up in a prestigious professional journal for
managerial people, BT were being quoted as concentrating their efforts on
the conversion of their many and varied interests in a myriad of
disparate networking technologies into a largely IP-based offering of
services in a global marketplace. What with GPS, GLONAST and (soon to be)
Galileo (the European version of GPS), what on earth are they hoping to
gain and where is the commercial advantage. Or, am I missing a trick
here? Is it just possible that LF has a commercial or strategic
value we are not informed about! I think we should be told.
