@arclight Well ... OK ... but you and I and every other cell phone user pays a tax every month to support 9-1-1 service, and part of that is that your phone must track its location and make that available to fire/police/ambulance if you call for help.

The rest of it is surveillance capitalism, yes, and some would like to eliminate the 9-1-1 connection on ideological grounds. But it's there until the law changes.
