Yeah, but it COULD... and maybe by 2050ish, they do. Anyway, you've still
got a bunch of other people using the same frequencies, anyway, and at the
least, you'll have two to choose from: the guy you want to locate, and the
cell's base station.

Essentially, what I'm pointing out here is that radio triangulation, while
possible, would require you to be very close, anyway.
