I doubt it. Other technologies could bring you internet — Direct TV had internet service, it’s satellite based, so you could access it from anywhere in the US.

But this L2 would completely cripple GPS and a huge amount of military systems, airplane nav systems and all the civil sytems depend on GPS.

Thanks! I'll look into the Direct TV Wildblue service. I had only been aware of Hughes satellite internet service but heard it had a bad "lag" problem. That would pretty much be unacceptable to me.

I do not think they (L2) have settled the technological issues yet, from what I read.
Also, it is affecting more than GPS, there is 400Mhz of govt. owned spectrum that is affected. One of them is USN weather satellites.
How do retune a frequency while in polar orbit?
