The Russians also have their own version of GPS - called Glonass. If I remember correctly, Trimble sells a dual-mode system.
Also, one of the previous posters referred to using differential GPS. This is publicly available only in coastal areas and is supplied by the Coast Guard in addition to Loran. It's not available in the central US unless you set up your own DGPS station. It's typically provided by an add-on module to you CA code GPS receiver and operates by time-correcting the incoming satellite signals.
What did you expect? You saw quite a bit of hunger for the almighty $ here on/. Who got the "letter", who got through to e-trade, who was judged "competent" to invest, who felt screwed by not being able to renew their "indication of interest" even after the price was changed. (Raises own hand here.)
They state that one of their goals is to pay attention to security problems and fix them before anyone else.
Re: [C|B|A][3|2|1] Security
The cost is non-trivial.
You also have to remember that these classifications include the hardware platform that they're tested on. The minute that the hardware platform is changed in any way, the system is no longer certified. You therefore have to sell a specific hardware platform with a specific software installation installed via a documented method for it to be "blessed".

that I work in CA only on contract basis. They'll never get good numbers.
