So it's not that the UK doesn't need more ventilators (although the requirement is less than first thought), it's that the UK doesn't need Dyson's untested, unapproved, ventilators. (src).

It's possible (for someone who knows a lot more than me) to build your own GPS receiver from first principals, which avoids the limits placed on commercial receivers (>1900km/s and/or >18,000m). Here's an example which uses a custom FPGA board, coupled to a Raspberry Pi. If a sufficiently dedicated and knowledgable person can build one at home, I suspect a satellite manufacturer could build an extra-terrestrial* version
(Apparently although GPS signals at the Earth's surface are around -130dBm, the noise floor is higher at -110dBm, which implies some RF wizardry I don't even begin to understand).
* in the literal sense of 'off Earth'
And/or, some power supplies might come with a switch to enable/disable the non-12V rails, so it can be used with either class of system.
Not that I'm bothered, it wasn't an expensive phone, and I doubt anything that goes wrong with it would fall under the warranty either, even if it hadn't run out already.
It took me a few minutes to be sure that it wasn't a piss-take on a statical news show. The amount of distortion would be flat out illegal in a lot of countries I think (as shown when they do have news from outside the US, and get it so hilariously wrong)
I'm afraid to say it's reality's well known liberal bias, raising it's head again.
There's no way of restricting access to a network that can't be bypassed, other than by making the network so restricted as to be entirely useless. For an example, look at gaming consoles, where Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony try to limit network access to only approved (un-rooted) devices, that can only run approved software. Have they succeeded? Nope.
Oh, and before you say that a government would have better luck than a technology company, have a look around at large government IT projects. How many of them actually work?
More likely the OP is a troll, or someone from whatever we're calling the generation younger than millennials (Gen Z?).
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
