I don't agree at all. Satellite tracking is obviously superior, but also much more expensive. I don't say that the IGC should prefer GSM over satellite, but banning it entirely is simply stupid and preventing low-cost tracking for many contests and contestants. The way to go would actually be ADS-B or some other technology like that as demonstrated in the netherlands already...
