Beijing To Track Citizen's Cell Phones 120
wan9xu writes "Purportedly to help alleviate Beijing's traffic congestion, the new initiative, literally translated as 'Platform for Citizen Movement Information,' proposes to track individual citizens' movement in real time via cell phone signals. Cell phones will be automatically registered at cell towers as soon as they are switched on. The rest is just like the phone tracking you see every week on CSI."

U-TDOA [wikipedia.org] except it should probably be named DTOA [wikipedia.org] instead. I like how they keep changing the names of this stuff so you don't catch on.
Nothing to see here.
