The inherent problem with ADS-B is the "D" part, it is dependent on the aircraft knowing where it is and telling everybody or somebody (ADS-A and ADS-C). Until that navigation is fairly bullet proof,as well as the communications, it will not likely be relied on in terminal or approach airspace.
Like the "bullet proof" encoder altitude that ATC has been reliant on for decades, you mean?
