Cannot agree more!!! Yes the whole system is FAR TOO SLOW. It takes ridiculous amounts of time to get changes (apart from adaptation, which we can generally do ourselves) put through the system.
I can accept that there's an engineering process to go through, after all when ATC types want something doing they don't care if its a token ring LAN with or without ethernet connections etc. or if its a little man on a bike who goes around handing out messages.
Its the money men (hello SDI!) that have us by the balls.
