While a transponder seems like a sensible requirement, what would ATC do with all of these extra blips appearing at low height etc.?
This is a major issue. ADS-B is already very congested with new 'bright ideas' for its use being added almost daily. There is a probability that it will become unusable in the not too distant future. Remember air traffic agencies are likely to be mandating ADS-B IN for aircraft CDTI so it is not just ATC that will suffer.
