>> Incorporating GPS technology to handsets isn't cheap compared to a software-based alternative
that won't place any hardware demands on handset manufacturers.

Not so. CNXT currently offer GPS chipsets at a very competitive price. These designs can be modified to suit handset manufacturers.

Software based solutions (involving triangulation with respect to a number of bases), are difficult to achieve in marginal RF conditions - which are much more prevelent than network operators would like you to believe.

Your points regarding Russian, Chinese et al, attitude to using US military technology are well taken
