Directed advertising via Snap-Track! I hadn't thought of that. It provides tremendous potential. Specifically targeted ads are worth far more than mass-ads. This pleases me greatly, as an investor.

As a human-being, I generally dislike being a target. Being selected by location doesn't seem so bad - billboards do that. The idea of areas frequented being added to a profile compiled by who-knows-who is positively Orwellian.

* It is must more than just 911, and a lot bigger than saying you are at the gas station, we are talking about Zone Base in building, someone with a handset in NewYork to only get advertising from banners on the internet from New York

I didn't get a very comfortable feeling when he said this. Call me paranoid, but I don't particularly like the idea of my operator being allowed to monitor my exact location. If I dial 911, it's great, but not every time I use the phone.
