A very similar article appeared two days earlier in the Economist:

Also, a few pages later is in article about the business models of GPS
(the US system) and Galileo (the new EU navagation system where they
expect to charge end users for using it, and an article soon to appear
in Foreign Affairs by David Braunschvig argues that the US should
charge end-users for using the GPS signals):

unfortunately, this second article is not available for free download
(free to print subscribers, or pay-per-download).
