I guess this needs to be reported, but, is it news anymore?

If you generate your own power and use it yourself then that is not a problem.
but
if you generate your own power and hook it up to a Grid Tied inverter, then you would be backfeeding into the grid, that is where the problem is.

Battery life does not directly relate to usage since the battery is used even when the device on idle or isn't being used. Plus, I wonder how much the battery is used by the battery monitoring application.

My guess is cost. Sending data via satellite is very expensive, and there's a lot of data recorded. As for ground stations, I'm not aware of any plane-to-ground data communications currently in use (other than radio for voice) so that would need a completely new infrastructure built.

The last jet that didappeared had the engines sending data to the satellites continously
