Does anyone know why the location service never happened?
Were the feds supposed to do it, or did they need a private entity to do it?

I will always wonder of the location database came from me. I did an
ex parte with the FCC years ago when this was first being discussed.
I wrote up a white paper describing the location database and how it
would work. What they adopted was essentially exactly what I wrote
up. I added it being a profit center for the FCC where you would pay
to play.
That is not to say it was not an obvious solution that was undoubtedly
thought of by many people at the same time.

There was just an email about this a few weeks ago.
Consider it dead, it might as well be. All the gear is alpha crap with
very low bandwidth and extremely high cost for the capabilities.
I believe the location database was never created either, but I'm not
sure.

Is it dead? Anyone deploying it? Anyone besides Carson selling it?
