	Over the past decades GIS has became a multi-billion Euro industry.

	Electronic mapping systems of utility infrastructure (electrical, water, telecommunications, gas, etc) can reduce outage time by about 20% and lead to more efficient operation of the utility facilities. The precise locations of utility poles or pipes, distribution boxes and even customers can be mapped using GNSS receivers. During outages or other failures, the critical infrastructure can be identified immediately. With larger outages, maintenance crews can be dispatched to locations that will help the most customers<ref name="Energy">[~~http~~://ec.europa.eu/~~dgs~~/~~energy_transport/galileo/doc/galileo_app03.pdf~~ Galileo Application Sheet - Energy Applications], ESA and European Commission, June 2002</ref>.
