Aterpster and all,

One of the big selling points by the FAA for ADS-B was to be able to get rid of the "expensive radars".

Not going to happen.....

Also, I believe that a backup source of navigation will ultimately be needed to provide a secure system. Enhanced Loran C comes to mind.

Imaging the consequences of a worldwide hack/shutdown of GPS......
