Is the 1st enhancement a big deal?

I thought we already had RTTI in the US?
This is next gen rtti. Rather than using fm radio to send the traffic data the new system sends the traffic data through the telematics system (BMW assist).

It's unclear at this stage though if this will be introduced into the USA for 2011.
