From page 4...
... The potential benefits of the NSRS include the following: · economic gains from nontraditional uses of the system (e.g., precision agriculture, Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) , reducing the size of flight corridors and the space between aircraft, near-automatic aircraft landings, timely shipping and routing of freight without warehouse storage)

From page 5...
... NOAA should coordinate with its public- and pr~vate-sectorpartners in implementing the NSRS, including setting a realistic budget and program milestones. The proposed NSRS could satisfy a basic framework need for a broad user community that includes transportation, emergency response, utilities, industry, and research, as well as surveying.

From page 6...
... As the demands for near real-time data increase, universities, industry, and federal, state, and local government agencies will install additional CORS where needed to meet their specialized needs. NOAA need not be responsible for installing and maintaining 1300-1500 CORS, which is the estimated minimum useful number of stations for nationwide needs, but it should provide oversight and incorporate some of the stations insured by other interests into the NSRS.

From page 7...
... The effects of SA on dual-frequency carrier phase differential position determinations are approximately < ~ mm for all applications. With AS active, the large loss of signal strength at the L2 frequency degrades dynamic applications or applications that require rapid static measurements except in the latest generation of receivers.
