Now this is related to the '911 system' so that your location can be also relayed to the police if homeland security so desires. Lately it desires a lot! Now if 'E911' does not work right, then fonecos could be pressured to make sure it does or 'get out of the business'. I do not know if that is the case, but another possibility is that your location may be so part of the 'E911' ability that it is inseparable, like as part of the ASIC chip that contains the GIS feature on your cellfone. Thay may also mean that if the 'E911' feature is not working, then neither is the 'graphical location of you so you can be efficiently commercially exploited as you location is known and plottable as a function of time feature'. It is this last autolocation of you feature when you call or when your fone has power with either a public or hidden and undocumented battery..this feature that can make the telcos, like AT&T, money. And money indeed! Think of all the automatic billboards that can now 'see you' when you are in proximity. Having 'seen' you by 'hearing' and automatically computer internet checking your 'signal' and accessing your 'commercial profile and your credit rating, the sign then proceeds to hand you 'relevant advertising' as you pass by with eyesight of the 'smart sign'. If your credit is good, how about a 'new car'. If you are semi-wealthy, how about a condominium timeshare in Florida? ...and if your credit is bad, how about a 'bill consolidating loan' or a 'second mortgage'? Now if you are flagged as a deadbeat, then how about: "Pay up you bum" or some such? Of course if you are 'wanted' for some reason, then the same machinery can call the law for you so that you can be conveniently arrested at the next available intersection. Hey, Graphical Information Systems integrated into your fone are a 'trusted system' now....ARE'NT THEY?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18305750 Wed, 09 May 2007 09:17:54 EDT
