The FAA then gets to make itself indispensable forever by having to construct a vast series of ground stations to link the two systems together. Never mind the safety implications of inserting a ground station into a safety-critical system (the FAA never, ever has failed radars or ground transmitters, and their coverage is perfect). Must be nice to have the power kill people and spend tens of billions on nothing but vapid politics.
