"30Mb/s for realtime telemetry sounds a little over the top".

I tend to agree. All the data that is absolutely necessary is callsign, GPS location and maybe some sort of status flag. A handful of bytes. More is desirable, certainly but let us distinguish between needing and wanting.

I think some people hate this idea for reasons of their own. One day, it might save their bacon.
