2. Things My Parents Taught Me

3. “Turn Down that Radio !” “Turn Down that Radio !”

4. Spectrum Issues Noise is always a problem – at home and in satnav Noise is always a problem – at home and in satnav Growing pressure from new wireless and comm. Technologies on GPS spectrum. Growing pressure from new wireless and comm. Technologies on GPS spectrum. Competition for spectrum internationally at WRC (ITU) and nationally Competition for spectrum internationally at WRC (ITU) and nationally Current US issue over UWB is likely prelude to similar cases in other countries Current US issue over UWB is likely prelude to similar cases in other countries Spectrum competition will only get more demanding Spectrum competition will only get more demanding

5. Things My Parents Taught Me Share and share alike Share and share alike

6. Spectrum Sharing Sharing GPS spectrum with other services is difficult and potentially dangerous – especially for SOL applications Sharing GPS spectrum with other services is difficult and potentially dangerous – especially for SOL applications WRC-2000 found sharing not feasible with MSS WRC-2000 found sharing not feasible with MSS Must be careful not to raise noise floor by allowing sharing, overlays or new OOBE near or in GPS bands Must be careful not to raise noise floor by allowing sharing, overlays or new OOBE near or in GPS bands

7. Things My Parents Taught Me Take care of your toys ! Take care of your toys !

8. Spectrum Protection Must keep satnav spectrum clean and quiet Must keep satnav spectrum clean and quiet Essential for health of GPS and all satnav systems (GLONASS, Galileo, others) Essential for health of GPS and all satnav systems (GLONASS, Galileo, others) Maintain performance/utility of existing systems, especially SOL services Maintain performance/utility of existing systems, especially SOL services Allow for expansion and growth of future systems and augmentations by preventing rise in noise floor, or reduction of available spectrum Allow for expansion and growth of future systems and augmentations by preventing rise in noise floor, or reduction of available spectrum

9. Things My Parents Taught Me Learn a foreign language – make new friends Learn a foreign language – make new friends

10. GPS/Satnav is a Global Utility Applications are global in scope Applications are global in scope New systems emerging to compliment, augment and supplement GPS New systems emerging to compliment, augment and supplement GPS Necessary to have a global/multinational perspective Necessary to have a global/multinational perspective

11. Things My Parents Taught Me Play nicely with others Play nicely with others

12. Interoperable, Compatible, Open Markets Satnav systems (GPS, Galileo, Japan regional system) should and can operate together to benefit all users Satnav systems (GPS, Galileo, Japan regional system) should and can operate together to benefit all users Hippocrates – “First do no harm” Hippocrates – “First do no harm” Ensure technical interoperability and compatibility Ensure technical interoperability and compatibility Open, non-proprietary standards Open, non-proprietary standards No restrictive regulatory mandates No restrictive regulatory mandates No restrictive trade barriers No restrictive trade barriers Market driven progress Market driven progress

13. Things My Parents Taught Me Look both ways Look both ways

14. Balancing Business and Security GPS and all satnav systems are “dual-use” by nature – cannot completely separate military/security implications from civilian/commercial GPS and all satnav systems are “dual-use” by nature – cannot completely separate military/security implications from civilian/commercial Essential to plan international coordination in advance for times of crisis/conflict Essential to plan international coordination in advance for times of crisis/conflict Commercial advancements can challenge military/security Commercial advancements can challenge military/security Interference or anti-jam question emerging in US export controls Interference or anti-jam question emerging in US export controls

15. Things My Parents Taught Me There’s no such thing as a free lunch There’s no such thing as a free lunch

16. Representing Industry Monitoring developments, coordinating industry views, addressing issues/policies takes time, effort and money Monitoring developments, coordinating industry views, addressing issues/policies takes time, effort and money International coordination has been successful International coordination has been successful Many have benefited from dedicated actions of a very small few – export controls, spectrum, outreach, etc. Many have benefited from dedicated actions of a very small few – export controls, spectrum, outreach, etc. More hands and more checkbooks can help More hands and more checkbooks can help

17. Things My Parents Taught Me You get what you pay for You get what you pay for

18. Stand Up for What’s Yours Industry representation is expensive in terms of time and money Industry representation is expensive in terms of time and money Talk is cheap, until you hire a lawyer – specialized assistance necessary in areas such as spectrum protection Talk is cheap, until you hire a lawyer – specialized assistance necessary in areas such as spectrum protection Seeking to expand industry/user participation and available resources Seeking to expand industry/user participation and available resources Limited participation + limited resources = limited results Limited participation + limited resources = limited results
