Can European airspace possibly be more congested than that in the US,

Enroute? yeah, I think so.

But surely the US terminal airspace is more congested.

We will see. Such a mandate will meet considerable opposition. Same
as GA user fees. Heck, the FAA has not even started any sort of 406
MHh ELT mandate to my knowledge. (USA applicability)

Ron,

Not in Europe. We have seen, here. It has met considerable opposition -
and has been mandated nonetheless.

Sorry. I should have clarified that my question was applicable to the US NAS.
I do understand the European requirements for Mode S, 8.33, ACAS, etc etc.
But in the US, Mode S is still just a solution looking for a problem.
