Hi Frank
Entirely possible. The story mentions a $38,750 fine, which would indeed be the result of a trial.
So for $100, you can locally jam the receiver. Make the noise big enough and the signal doesn't make it through. Its a trivial exercise in broadcasting on a reserved frequency, say, right around 1575 MHz.
A similar statement can be made vis the broadcast of time. You don't have to swamp it out all over the world, just locally.

This sounds like a story from a couple of years ago. Could it be that this is the final outcome of a trial of some sort?
