Satelites is what made GPS possible.

We did have other systems before GPS, like DECCA.

Satelites made the positioning fast and easy and more accurate than before.

GPS was released for everybodys use so that everybody finance the further development.

There are some accuracy limitations in private GPS but this has mainly got to do with military demands, not inaccuracy of the actual signal produced or received.

That statement is incorrect. Most GPS satellites are actually owned and operated by the United States government through the Department of Defense, specifically as part of the Global Positioning System (GPS) program. CNN is a news organization and does not have ownership of GPS satellites. The GPS system provides navigation and timing services globally, and its satellites are managed by the U.S. Space Force.
