Re: 911?

Isn't that what OnStar is for

Seriously though, an over turner car / 911 dial should not generate 'thousands' of pings. Tracking someone would.
you're right, but how many times do you call 911 from your cell phone in a given year?
in the last year, i have had to call 911 for different things twice. not a lot in a given year, but that counts for at least 2 of these pings but im only one customer.
the year before that i used 911 4 times in the year (that i remember).
and how many "pings" does that even count as anyway? we dont know... could be 1 could be 5...
that leaves me with the following thoughts. 8 million in the given situation is not that big a number
and
you knowingly bought a phone with a gps chip in it... what exactly did you THINK was going to happen?
