It sounds like nothing more than a marketing blurb for a relatively
minor project.

Could a predominately private industry-based ATC system work?


It could work, just not well. It's always a bad idea to entrust a
monopoly to private enterprise. The only thing that makes private
enterprise work is competition, and that doesn't exist for a monopoly.
