Sorry if this has been discussed before, I did not find it in a search of the forums.
The following article which I just read in the RV hotline, sets forth the FAA plans to mandate satellite navigation in some airspace by 2020.

I am all for safetly, but I have to wonder what the cost will be to equip our RV's with Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) systems. How should that affect the planning of panels that will be used that far in the future? What exactly is this ADS-B equipment and how much will it cost?
Does anyone have any insight into this issue?
