All the news flashes about future GPS failures are a cry for money of two reasons. GPS are pushed by alternative DPS systems such as Galileo and GLONAS, and solar-flare activity are close to peak, which seriously reduces the countability of satelite-based systems. IMO, producers of units, both handheld and larger should include support for multiple systems as well as alternative augmentation systems, such as IALA. A unit that uses several systems will have a higher possition accuracy than a unit relying on only one system, whether it is GPS, Galileo, GLONAS, or anything else.
The Commission's partner, the European Space Agency (Esa), is running the procurement contest with the aim of having Galileo fully operational by 2013.

Don't worry, they just want to get proper money for newer systems I'd say. And that should be good.
Still I would like a more open system, maybe the european one will be (Galileo or what it is called).

my GPS doesn't support galileo and in ours countries a gps is double price than europe or uSA

Sorry, I meant the GPS maintainers probably want more money for better satellites and stuff. ;)
