This is not necessarily a bad idea. I would feel a lot more comfortable knowing that my ELT can be picked up by satellite than not. There are some very remote areas in this country - I've flown across a lot of them.
They could simply make 121.5 ELTs obsolete with one stroke of the pen you know - doing it this way and allowing people some time to convert over is the right way to do it, but I absolutely would prefer a newer ELT with the satellite communications capability.
