People have been talking about location-based systems for years now. And as 
this article discusses, the US government has required its mobile service 
providers to offer location-based services for emergency purposes. However, 
what the article does not say is that (as far as I know) almost all of the 
US mobile service providers have said they cannot meet the deadline. Does 
anyone know if the US mobile service providers still say they can't provide 
the services and if so why?
