Why would large media conglomerates accept a standard that in their minds be more open to attack since the source is out there for all to see? Look what they did to the people that opened up the encryption on DVDs, don't they see people who develope open source in the same light as crackers because of the whole DeCSS thing?
The justification is 911 routing, so that the appropriate call center is reached. Hey, how about a settings on the phone when you first configure it out of the box. That should appease the tin foil hats because it gives them the power to set what location it's transmitting and it handles the 911 issue. Of course it becomes moot for all the other sinister for the things they really want to do.
Why aren't all the call centers linked anyway? I think that would be an easier task than compiling an all inclusive list of APs.
Call Center 1: 911, what is your location? Caller: Location 2. Call Center 1: *Enters location into form* *Transfer call button enables* Let me transfer you. Call Center 2: *Relavant data and call transfered* 911, what is your emergency?...

Is it legal to use your Cantenna?
Yes, our Cantennas and Pigtails have been tested and comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Make sure other wireless devices that you use also comply. Compliance with FCC regulations is your responsibility. Check with your Internet Service Providers to find out if they permit sharing of their Internet connections.
