Hi

All of the systems we have today were designed in an era of Loran being
available. The designers of CDMA actually had more experience with Loran
timing than they did with GPS. Despite all that *none* of the systems we
have today picket Loran as their time source. Without a regulation to make
it happen, simple availability isn’t going to do much of anything.
