Rebuilding the network and finance the cost of running it will be a 
challenge. This is why tearing down the old network was such a waste of 
money. If they seriously considers it, maybe they have learned a hard 
lesson and at least considers it and is ready to bite the bullet.

A key worry would be if they chose to use a non-compatible coding such 
that existing Loran-C equipment needs to be scrapped anyway.

It would be interesting to see how it plays out.

Cheers,
Magnus
