ADSB Exchange News
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2023 10:47 am
ADSBx was recently sold to JetNet by its owner Dan Streufert for $20 million dollars, although the main people working on the project wanted to keep it independent, and were never going to see a single cent of that money. Hundreds of community members turned off their feeds in protest once the news broke out.
Who knows if ADSBx will still provide unfiltered data or not in the near future under the new ownership structure. In the meantime a new site was set up: globe.adsb.fi
I switched my feeder to send data to adsb.fi covering the Melbourne area, and others in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Hobart have done the same in the last 24 hours.
In short, more coverage is needed, and the original ADSBx developers are supporting adsb.fi the most at the moment. Dan Streufert has turned his back on the entire aviation enthusiast community for a quick buck while putting minimal effort into the service over the years.
