The GPS sigal can be used to compute attitude/direction. Instead of using the standard code phase offsets and doppler for position and velocity, the receivers also use carrier phase processing and multiple antennas. By computing time of arrival offsets of specific carrier phases at each antenna, the system can determine angle of arrival. Think of this as sort of a reverse direction finding procedure, with very accurate transmitter, atomic clock timing source, and precisely known position of the transmitter. Arrange the attennas properly, and you can obtain a very precise attitude along any or all axes of interest.
Your basic handheld receivers don't do this. In general, these systems are specifically built to purpose and can run you a good penny.
The EXISTING Federal Law remains valid.
We can argue all day about the merits. This was an attempt to get a law thrown out. It failed. I've noticed the Supreme Court often prefers to wait until a specific case (involving prosecution under the law) comes before it before it tackles things like this.
Solution: If you provide content that you are concerned about, I would stongly recommend you caveat access to that content in a manner that makes it clear the end user is PULLING the content, as opposed to you PUSHING it. Ultimately, if Federal Prosecutors go after you, the defense will hinge on whether your provided it, or the recipient pulled it. IANAL.
For some reason, when the core business isn't "tech", the business managers can't grasp the concept of IT. By the same token, the IT folks don't tend to grasp the concept of the non-tech "business". The end result is chaos. Those businesses need a bridge between the business and the tech. This requires a person who understands the core business, understands IT, and has the leadership skills to bridge the gap. Those types are true gems when you find them.
The problem with this line of thinking is the control of weapons (be it in space or any place) requires some kind of penalty for non-compliance that will force compliance. And herein is the flaw. Unless EVERYONE agrees to comply, those who beg compliance will either have to become slaves to those who refuse to comply, or will have to non comply in order to bring into check those who non comply.

It's the PARTS at LAUNCH.
Not the sale price.
Not the build price.
Just the parts....at LAUNCH.
Also note, the parts price drops to around $300 at year three. I suspect the price drop will be non-linear in favor of lower costs, so it's very conceivable the AVERAGE price of the parts over the production run would be under $500.00. Throw in a market share loss equation, and the unit will sale go for under $500.00 (factoring in manufacturing costs as well), which will be competitively priced against the 360.
