Does anybody know how much On-Star costs and would they consider taking on
aviation customers? It's got to beat ELT.

There is a satellite based system developed by Orbcomm (Orbcomm.com)
that has a data link for weather graphics, email, and so forth. For
aviation use, the system is incorporated into products by Avidyne, Echo
Flight, SKytrac, and Garmin. The system can provide automatic flight
following, so that the flight can be followed on a web site. It'd be
great for locating a downed pilot or following contestants during a
conttest, but the unit look big, complicated, and expensive.
