If ADS-B technology costs $18,000 today, that will be $1800 or even $180 in

I work in the high tech computer industry. 5 terabytes of disk storage cost
nearly $1,000,000 in the year 2000. Today, in summer 2007, we just bought 7
terabytes for $11,000. This is not a typo. The technology is similar.

The avionics market place has neither the size nor the freedom of the
consumer market place.
The price of cutting edge avionics will come down over time, but not
hardly at the same rate as consumer stuff.
