Manufacturing representatives and marketing agents worldwide are reportedly "salivating" at the prospects of billions of people using Internet Devices that have G.P.S. tracking abilities. Satellite tracking technology is rapidly changing the way many and eventually all companies will interact with their various global customers. By globally tracking customers will allow restaurants, motels and retail merchants to instantly know when customers are near their various establishments and to try to bring them inside with special promotions. Personalized conveinence such as giving directions and airplane reservations are planned. Or maybe even locating a potential customer and giving directions to a good meal. An executive of a coffee company stated "There will come a time when our customers will go to our web site by their various G.P.S. tracking devices and ask where they can go to get a cup of coffee." "They could set the parameters of their car or truck's G.P.S. tracking device to tell them when they are within 30 feet of an area that sells the coffee." The technology is being implemented allowing all companies to globally tie G.P.S. location-based technology information into their normally used corporate-wide databases. The full potential of this market may be at least 1 1/2 years away but all businesses and corporations are being encouraged to think about and to start some form of implementation of this technology to make sure they are getting a head start in the inclusion of their establishments into coming information directories and databases that will supply the information to the G.P.S. tracking devices. A number of reasons are named for this rush into the world of G.P.S. tracking. The number one reason, of course, is the trillions of global dollars to be made. Besides the C.A.L.E.A. beast tracking laws presently being implemented, automobile manufacturers are aggressively moving towards installation of G.P.S. tracking systems that are interlinked to wireless emergency services, Internet connectivity and computers. A major automotive manufacturer is planning to install at least one million G.P.S. tracking devices into their product line this year. One major trucking company has installed 43,000 G.P.S. tracking devices into it's fleet. Small-scale and large-scale construction companies are incorporating G.P.S. tracking devices into their various equipment and giving G.P.S. to maintenance technicians to best determine which location offers the best advantage for repair and maintenance. A lot of concerns are being raised by various employees about the probable and potential abuses they could encounter while being globally tracked. As a whole, the response from customers globally, remains to be seen. They may not want to be globally tracked and monitored by various retail establishments. They might actually get out of the "sheeple mode" and actually see this as an invasion of privacy. But reportedly "Companies will have no choice but to offer this tracking ability because of the vast amount of profit to be made globally." Invasion of privacy issues are certainly being raised by employees to employers. They are afraid and the continued fear of beast tracking will continue to rise to hereto unknown levels, which is a completely normal reaction, because that is actually what it is! Big Brothers global beast tracking system! But reportedly the people who presently have the most expereince with G.P.S. tracking, welcome it. Most companies report that the so-called "benefits far outweigh any perception of Big Brotherism." ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, All My Relations.
