Future ATC Developing!

Dear cowboy, sorry to blunt your zeal but NATS is at least two generation technology jumps beyond what you are proposing and it should be up and running by 2015. There are no current plans for an interim quick-fix. The human input will be from an offshore location, probably on the Asian sub-continent, and with quadruplex redundancy over seventeen non-overlapping datastream conduits.....this may be reduced in stages over a period of three years[current estimate] as in- service validation dictates. The closest thing to what you are suggesting is the DCI [Direct Cockpit Interlink] due 2006, however I thought that it was still under wraps........I have never heard of your system!
