If you look at many wheelers rigs in remoter areas of the world such as Australia, they have their own DGPS going on. Ever wonder what all those antennas were for on their bull bars? Not just radios that's for sure.
My 'agenda' is to keep this going as there are other wheelers out here who DO use the system and like having better accuracy. I for one have money invested in my DGPS rig and feel that we as consumers should be able to utilize that equipment and not have to toss it just because someone feels they want to decomission a program that many have become used to using. What if they got rid of regular GPS for civilians? I bet you'd be screaming off the hook then wouldn't you.
