From Wikipedia:
> United States President Bill Clinton signed a bill ordering that Selective Availability be disabled on May 1, 2000; and, in 2007, the US government announced that the next generation of GPS satellites would not include the feature at all.
Also, SA just meant you couldnt resolve with an accuracy less than 100 meters. It didn't mean "turn off GPS in a part of a world".
