The ECHO project, and the completion of its principal deliverable - the ConOps itself, obviously - holds major importance for future vitality and advancement of, first of all, the overall aviation sector in Europe as well as globally; second, the many other sectors of productive economic activity which depend upon aviation; third, international security arrangements and requirements (witness the recent EUROCONTROL High-Level Global Civil-Military Aviation Summit); and fourth but not least, the imminent emergence of the "new space economy" and Low-Earth Orbit ecosystem (witness the continuing work of CONFERS w/r/t ISAM). Countless hours have been devoted by law professors and other academic types to the intellectual game of defining comprehensively some demarcation between "airspace" (as in ATM or ANSPs) and "space" (as in SSA or STM). Evidently intellectually challenging or at least somewhat interesting, and no doubt amassing countless non-billable hours, such academic work often is derided by real lawyers, who represent and advise actual clients. As ECHO both proves and demonstrates, real progress is achieved by the persons and groups who operate the systems of international civil aviation. In their hands, the future is bright.
