ADS-B is just one part of NextGen. Most airports do not have their equipment yet. Also not enough ADB-S ground transceivers out there yet. Also the Data Com is not implemented or fully implemented. I think most of the equipment we are waiting on is the NextGen Weather data reporting. When that is done then all data to include weather will be sent to the pilot. No need to talk to the controller.
