It is ridiculously true

I think you are right. I have a friend who works for Intel he tells me there is a five year lead time from concept to deployment.
In this case I can just imagine how it would go... Sounds simple, right? Stream information to a satellite. Easy. But if you start at the very beginning - what data to send - everyone is going to disagree. For example, air speed - should they transmit that data, and why? Should that data come from the sensor on the bottom of the aircraft or from computers in the cockpit. Which would be more accurate, and which would be subject to failure more than the other? Then we'll need something to power the system that will track the air speed, and a method to transmit it? Is it as simple as running a wire from the cockpit to a cabinet in the back of the plane? If so, what kind of wire would they use? Then who would have access to this cabinet.

Have they ever stated if there was other air traffic in the immediate vicinity when they vanish?
Maybe some type of Electronic Counter Measures testing or even hacking into the planes avionics.
Is it possible they are not seeing surface to air missiles, maybe something shoulder fired from a small craft?
Really the possibility is there for a number of explanations.Please HELPComment

modern black boxes work with flash cards - you could simply transmit exactly the same information you record with that
add some encryption and compression and delete information 1 hour after plane has successfully landed
but there are also privacy issues since every word the pilots speak during flight would be transmittedComment

These planes basically fly themselves so the pilots are snorting blow and fucking the stewardesses instead of controlling the plane.<!--BEGIN SIMUTRONICS PLAY BUTTON CODE -->

You don't even need to transmit all those, just the basic info about the exact current location of the aircraft and that'll work. The transmitter must work on stand-alone mode all the time, even after the aircraft is completely crashed. I don't see why this is so complicated to implement in a fuckin' 150M$ machine.Comment

theoretically - yeah - i also don't understand why they don't do that - because the information is already there:
How it works - Flightradar24.com - Live flight tracker!
they would just need to make it crash resistantComment
