The amount of air traffic is only going to increase and ABWN's system will help to increase that traffic.

The current amount of air traffic is mostly limited by how far aircraft have to stay from one another for safety. This distance has been closing due to better avoidance technology.

Another benefit of ABWN's technology is that it will improve aircraft avoidance technology, which will result in more safety with more traffic.

Try to imagine the amount of traffic on a two lane road as compared to a modern freeway.

With the ever increasing air traffic ABWN's system will just get better and better.

Airlines will benefit by having ABWN's equipment on board:

-Revenue just from being part of the grid.
-Revenue by providing in flight wireless to its customers.
-More flights per routes.
-Increased flight safety.

These are big incentives which should make the airlines want to participate in ABWN's network.

Yes Delta Tango 1, great point. Just ask Siri on your phone or ipad, "what planes are flying overhead" and look at the result.
