One thing I note - I've asked around in the real world, (outside of prunn) and have yet to hear any aircraft owner say they want ADS-B. I will note that a couple of the more wealthy owners have said they dont care if it happens or not. Mainly I get a lot of negative views/scenarios on the subject - some which I've posted.
Binghi, I'm an aircraft owner, I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination, and I absolutely want ADS-B IN and OUT in my aircraft ASAP.

I'm also putting my money where my mouth is (in the process supporting a small and cleverly run Aussie business) and will be preparing my aircraft for the installation of the ADSB-IN/OUT unit that has been discussed here and elsewhere, during the upcoming avionics upgrade of my aircraft.

I think it is pretty much an undisputed fact that ADS-B represents a quantum leap for technology in GA, and quite frankly, I haven't seen a single argument put forward here or otherwise, that ADS-B will not increase situational awareness and safety.
