I can think of plenty of buildings where you'd want the GPS even inside if
feasible. Think "any mall or office buil;ding over 250K square feet.".
Sure. I would also like to my car to be VTOL capable.
I think the real question is that are the phone and network vendors
willing to implement systems which give out your position only when you
want or if the handset gives your position with every call and there is
a filter in the network who gets to receive it. So far all positioning
systems implement the worse option. But there will be people who
willingly give out their position with inch precision if they are told
that it will increase their security.
