/Aviation Consumer/ and /IFR Magazine/ both project that ADS-B is still a
few to five years away from complete US mainland coverage.

I understand that but when it's working effectively the market for XM
will shrink to near nothing.

Not if the market is filled with knucklehead, early adopters (this is
purely a slam on me - but that's another story) like me who prefer to pay
for the "bird in the hand" and have onboard NEXRad now rather than wait for
the "two in the bush" at some unknown point in the distant future.

/Aviation Consumer/ also mentioned that they have little confidence in a
complete mainland ADS-B network ever happening, given the FAA funding
issues and fiasco with TIS/Mode-S.
