Network-] assisted GPS in the handset is absolutely the most accurate technology out there," says Oliver Valente, Sprint PCS' chief technology officer. It's also "orders of magnitude less expensive than network solutions," Then why is Verizon going with a network based solution, I don't get it. It's the WCDMA argument all over again. Snaptrack's solution is more accurate, more efficient, orders of magnitude cheaper and ready now, network based solutions are none of the above but that's what we are going with. It reminds me of one of my daughter's Cat In A Hat books where everything that doesn't make any sense at all is the norm and everything that does make sense is the abnormal. What gives? Anybody. Verizon using or not using snaptrack is a huge issue since it locks in handset suppliers to using Q chips plus the additional revenue will add to earnings and justify the billion dollar price tag paid for snaptrack.
