There seems to be this idea that Galileo is too expensive. I was curious so I looked up the cost for the US version. I found this: "it had cost $10–$12 billion to fj eld the system,and the uSAF estimated the cost annually of sustaining minimal GpS services at $400 million" That was in the 90s, so with 90s technology but also in 90s dollars. Not sure if firm conclusions can be made, but it gives an indication.
