The key change is that now there is a "Service definition document" for each service entering Initial Services. Thus there is a Quality (or lack) of service defined for each signal.

David, several of your satellite count graphs show a slow upward trend
throughout this calendar year, with a bump up for the month of October,
falling back down for part of November, then another step up at the
beginning of December.

This is particularly clear on the graph labeled "u-blox MAX-M8Q" on
"RasPi-10", showing a sharp uptick since December 1.

Could this be Galileo or hard to say?

Or maybe just leaves falling off of the trees? :-)

Dear all,
the GALILEO system is supposed to go online today (at least for initial
operational capability). Does anybody of you has a GALILEO compatible
receiver and sees already a difference?

Best regards,

Achim,

I'm not sure whether the signals were turned on today, or whether they
have been there for some time but just in a pre-operational status.

I think all my receivers which /might/ be able to get Galileo need an
update, and I've not seen any change in the number of satellites
potentially visible according to gpsd, at least:

  http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/performance_gps.php?period=month
  http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/performance_gps.php?period=year

I heard that for some receivers, it was a choice of Galileo or
GPS/GLONASS. I would be helpful if a list of Galileo receivers were
available.  I did one mobile phone which offered Galileo - but "in a future
update"...

Cheers,
David
