My understanding is that the weather options for ADS-B will be limited
to text METARs and TAFs - of course I could be wrong. But, if I'm
correct there will be a market for more advanced solutions offered by
XM & Sirius/WSI. Additionally, no one knows when the government will
actually get around to providing nationwide coverage and there'e the
pesky cost of ADS-B receivers.

The service will be substantially the same as XM. As for the receivers
the one I mentioned earlier was on sale for less than a thousand bucks.
That could be interfaced to any GPS or PDA or other computer.
