Default How I would like to change the *digital* cell phone industry.

Do away with GPS location reporting.


I see you don't believe the government's stated primary goal of making E911
available to cell users..


Phase 2 E911 is a long way from being universally available.

Most of the PSAP's are having problems getting their state governments
to release money already allocated for the purpose. (First they steal
from the rich, then from the poor, and now from themselves).

The FCC is also getting a bit irritated at cooked test results for
complying with location accuracy. I've seen some really suspicious
results using some possibly (not sure) dubious technology.

Incidentally, the governments apparent goal is more like "We want
everyone to be safe, even if it bankrupts everyone".
