But, since its based on cell towers, I'm wondering how they deal with the FCC's concern about cell phones in the air which has nothing to do with cockpit interference. Rather, the FCC is concerned that a single cell phone in the air will tie up cells from many different towers. (Of course, i don't seem to have any cell signal in the air at all.).

In terms of pricing, $10-15 seems reasonable, less a 50 percent discount for Plats and EXP's of course. $20 seems high and I'd probably only pay that if I had a pressing need.
