    In reply to Nokia Mobile Millennium Turns Your GPS Phone Into a Traffic Reporter
    Why does this even require a GPS enabled phone running a java program? Isn't it theoretically possible to track thousands of phones through cell-tower triangulation just from their "ping" - data that are already collected from mobile providers? Seems to me if Verizon wanted to run some analysis on their existing data they'd probably be able to come up with something pretty similar.


    Then again, I'm not a Berkeley engineering grad, so I'm open to someone (preferably a Berkeley engineering grad) explaining to me why I'm wrong.

    If you have congestion in one place and everybody attempts to avoid it, you'll simply move the congestion(s). What's the point?
