Snarek, RPT's subsidise the service for the VFR's who don't want to pay anything to maintain the service.
You say that in most cases you don't need a service but when something goes wrong on your "no service required flight", the service that the RPT's have been paying to maintain, will be the one you will turn to, to save your butt.
Only problem is now with the frequencies removed from the charts the VFR that is in trouble will have a hell of a time knowing what freq. to call on to get that assistance.
