Google is the beneficiary of this Government's taxpayer built and funded satellite launch. What a croc! GeoEye is a commercial venture, right? What does taxpayer funding have to do with this? »www.geoeye.com/CorpSite/corporat···ult.aspx The Gov't contracted with GeoEye and Google contracted with GeoEye. GeoEye thinks that it's good to have an exclusive deal with Google. Build your own satellite and sell the data to whomever you want. from the news item: quote: O'Connell said the $502 million satellite, built partly with money from the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency It isn't just a CONTRACT. The US funded its construction. -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. .. My Web Page Ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?

Did you expect GeoEye to just give the government the data for free? Don't believe in the free-enterprise system? Would you be happier if the government simply took the information from GeoEye without compensation? Maybe, in your world, we should all just bow down to the government and give them all our earnings and just be happy to live. Have a good day comrade.
