Default Improved live tracking for the SSA membership?

FWIW - there is already an internet solution that could be the basis for ADS-B tracking. It obviously doesn't show the planes only equipped with Mode-A transponders, but eventually ADS-B will be valuable to our operations. I hope to be able to use this or something similar in the coming years as a basis for general traffic awareness for our Line Chief using a tablet with internet. We have a lot of GA traffic that blasts through our pattern oblivious that they are over an active grass strip at 600'-1000'. If the Line Chief can spot them coming, he can alert anyone in the pattern or preparing to launch. Yes, I'm thinking that far ahead...
