This infringement was on the "official competition tracking system". OGN like receiving stations already provide real-time data from FLARM and many teams already use this source (UN-delayed tracking). What I don't know is whether the rules prohibit that access. Some of the well funded teams place their own OGN trackers around a task area to gain access to real-time (FLARM) tracking.

A similar issue about access to real-time information in the cockpit comes up with respect to weather data. U.S. Rules now allow access to that... mainly because with smartphones and ubiquitous Internet... it's near impossible to enforce a rule prohibiting it.
