Following last weeks White House statement accepting the USAF proposal to further disable selective availability in all next generation GPS Satellites, proponents of the European Galileo spoke up crying foul apparently because the announcement arrived one day before the EC's new plan. 

The Americans also hope to eliminate Galileo, claims Lieven Quoidbach, vice-president of NAVTEQ, the US satellite mapping company. They are desperate to keep their monopoly. It is kindergarten behaviour, he said. 

Last time I checked, orbiting real estate was still available for anyone with the means to claim it.  Eliminating SA, which was already non-existent, doesn't change that.

Galileo, already troubled by internal EU feuding on how it would be funded, suddenly had one less reason to exist.
