Look, I'm not happy about the personal logs, but my life is pretty boring as of late. Not a lot of spare cash to go anywhere or do anything, so if they want to track my movements on the few trips I make (a tank of gas in the Z-71 last me about two weeks, sometime a little more), I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
Like I said; I'm not happy about the personal side of it. The question was poised about possible business use, I offered a possible example (in the aggregate). And for 911 purposes, especially with people relying more and more on wireless only, there is the safety issue. Would I like to see the logs permanently purged on a regular basis: you betcha.
“Call volume only works when you’re on a call. “
From a telco point of view they can see and track calls. They know how much capacity they have and how much is used. Busy cell towers would show more calls. They have no need to know your GPS coordinates for capacity planning.
If there was a real business use then business would have pushed for the GPS locator in phones. Instead the federal govt pushed it.
The only real business use is the GPS systems which are phone based. Those will show you the accuracy with which they can track you.
