you have to pay before you can get a LARS service
Careful you'll have the GA Fraternity on here next, complaining how Mode S will mean we can track them down and charge them... I agree LARS is a Billy Bargain? but as income for using spare capacity it's, in effect, money for nothing (hence my comment about my pay-packet... after all it is MY spare capacity that's being touted?) The whole LARS scheme is being reviewed anyway, along with a general look at ATSORA (or whatever they're calling it this week?)
