Question

The global positioning system (GPS) uses satellites to send radio signals that can be picked up by re- ceivers, allowing users to determine their precise locations. The U.S. military, which operates the satellites, originally excluded users by introducing errors in the information sent to receivers held by private individuals. The accurate signals were encrypted and thus available only to the military. In 2000, accurate GPS signals were made available to citizens. From an efficiency standpoint, should accurate GPS signals be available to citizens? Should citizens pay for the GPS signals? Should they pay for the cost of the receivers?

Answer 1

In the present scenario, the GPS services have become more than a necessity. I think that in coming days it would be going to be inducted as a human right. Gps is very useful during disasters and exploration. Moreover most services are used by the government only and charging them from citizens would be absurd.
