Yes, you are right. The drone anticollision problem will likely solve the issue once and for all. Don't hold your breath though. It has only been 20 years and ADSB still hasn't had universal rollout. Presumably it will be an open standard arrived at by international agreement(or disagreement

do you know how many new Flarms are sold each year in Australia? on a Last 5 year average less than 20. I do feel you are both trying to solve a problem where there is nothing really to fuss about. to an earlier point you have both ignored, In time, new, very low cost anti collision devices

it gets to be a moot point. Unless someone wants to make a cheap enough and open version of comparable quality such that we all change over, then Flarm will continue to charge a reasonable amount sufficient to keep their business running and protect their business accordingly. that's
