I have frequently heard “in the near future” used in reference to various things, such as the next generation of GNSS so SBAS will be a thing of the past, but “in the near future” is such a nebulous thing and I for one am sick of the “promises” from people who oppose SBAS in Australia.
Lets just get the tried and tested SBAS for which extensive equipment already exists and has for years, and have something that works, not pie in the sky.
Also, as above, SBAS also will benefit wide ranging areas of the community other than aviation.
