A satellite handling mobile phone calls in London has been backed by the London Development Agency (LDA).
The technology will reduce the need for unpopular masts and could also be used to track motorists, the LDA said.
He was less than impressed though, commenting:
Oh the fun of it.. anyone want to give the journo a clue?
Heh!
why would i need a mobilephone mast
To make mobile phone calls? Don’t necessarily have to personally own one, although that is one way to cook your dinner at night.
The bloody LDA. They only back something if there is a way of using it to track us all.
