Gundog, why is it economically feasible for ATC to provide such a service in radar covered airspace in Europe, Canada and the US but not here?
Dick surely you can answer this yourself. Take a look and the size of the aviation industries in the countries mentioned compared to ours. More industry equals more government support equals better services.

Now i'm not saying that justifies doing nothing, but it is an economical reality that the government won't hand out money for more ATC based on near CFIT incidents, when typically it is pilot error that leads to such incidents, not a lack of radar controllers.
