    Other countries can launch their own satellites if they want, but they don’t because that’s expensive

    They do, and they did:

    EU (not a country, but still) - Galileo

    Russia - GLONASS

    China - BeiDou

    They all have their own.

      Thank you. I couldn’t remember the names and was rushing my comment before a meeting. I knew someone wouldn’t let that go without a correction.
