Bring it on.
All powered aeroplanes, gliders, airships, hang-gliders and balloons and should transmit ADSB on 1090. The affordable low-power technology is here and will continue to improve. Research should continue into possibly better alternatives, and the money should be earmarked now to subsidise the re-equipment of some or all of the fleet should it be shown that frequency congestion will occur.
Drones bigger than toys should find another frequency and inter-operate on that, but should detect 1090 and automatically avoid a 1090 target within ‘x’ kilometres or feet.
Simples.
