The cell phone companies already DO know where you go. They track your 
phone as it progresses from tower to tower. Even when your phone is not 
being used.

As for E-911, the GPS-locator service is only available locally in 
Johnston County, and even there I'm not sure the extent to which its 
being used.

As for Bloomberg's idea, it's redundant. Cell phone companies constantly 
survey their service areas, measuring signal levels.
