re: FCC May Fine T-Mobile for Lacking Locator Capability

Great to have a chance to go on record, again, that EOTD or TDOA or any other network based solution, will not work. The base stations are sited for communication coverage and not nearly dense enough for triangulation. It will work in urban areas, but the requirement that three base stations observe the mobile for a fix is challenging.

But, hey, it is a European, well English, firm that the GSM carriers are wasting their money with.

How is it that the GSM providers are able to keep this fiction going?
