This could also be a big show stopper for cellular and radio networks. Many use a 10.0000000 MHz timebase distributed from a GPS disciplined local oscillator for precise time and frequency synchronization. Without this tight frequency stabilization from a GPS receiver, major drama will occur on the "borders" between simulcasting repeater coverage areas, cell sites, etc. Can anyone say Spaghetti mess?

Have you already see this? (I hadn't)
