I particularly enjoyed the ATC documentwhich serves to show the gap between the engineering solution and the ATC 'need'.
Lots more work needed though, especially if they're going to put some PC sectors on iTEC and leave some on NAS for a long period of time during the phased transition. Anyone taking any bets on when iTEC will be introduced, to the nearest decade
