Lobby for stimulus money.
We don't need money. What is needed is for the FAA to permit the
commercialization of MITRE's low cost ADS-B transceiver. We are making
SLOW progress on that front. The FAA & SSA are going to do a
demonstration project this summer in the DC area.

If we can get ADS-B transceivers to be available at the same price point
as FLARM in Europe, we will see a similar explosion in deployment rates,
which will make soaring (and GA) a much safer environment.
