I expect the FAA's deployment of ADS-B based technology to fill

Actually, it is already a case study.
FAA's Don Walker, in his Reno SSA-convention presentation,
said FAA expects no more than 15% of GA to adopt UAT.
It is already a dead duck.
Of course, you can buy a great receive-only UAT gadget for your
iPad to get weather - not what FAA expected or planned, but the
obvious marketplace/technology result of what they did...

What a giant waste of our tax dollars...

From Mifflin, where they might fly today,
See ya, Dave "YO electric"

And for that 15% adoption the FAA stuffed its dual-link stupidity down out throats...

And there are already better (e.g. as good or better WX products, better coverage) Satellite WX products available for relatively low cost. Good job FAA, using our taxpayer funds to compete with privately funded innovation.
