This sounds to me like one of the greatest safety advances in years -
and at a great price.
Anyone own one?
Anyone read any reviews?

Sorry, that $7.95 is for some sort of rescue cost insurance. The
subscription is either $99.00 or $148.00 depending on options. Still, the
sailplane guys are pretty excited about the product.

It seems to me that any flight school would want one or two to have the
ability to track their student's X-country flight progress.

The $8/year service was an add on insurance benefit - basic rate is
$99/year.

This won't affect sales of PLB's at all if pilots realize what they're
buying. SPOT does not work at all unless it has a GPS signal. SPOT
uses the Globalstar satellite network. It does not use any satellites
that rescue personnel monitor. Globalstar itself is hanging by a thread
as their entire satellite phone network does not work at all right now
and won't for the next 5 years. If they survive. SPOT is nothing more
than a gee whiz toy.
