There would be little difference between this and forcing cell phone companies to triangulate every call. The primary motivation for this is almost certainly "location escrow" to make it easier for the feds to track drug dealers.

I always thought a little mystery was good for both sides: she knows not if I have a small dick, I know not if she has no tits; la, la, la.. .. as to multiple "Attila the Hun" accounts, I probably have as good as any original stake on the name as far as the net goes: --Bell Labs hung it on me in the mid 70s when I was doing some contract work on the unix kernal for Western Electric for the spook show. The name stuck, and why bother to change?
