I have heard from people who ought to know, that a popular satellite phone protocol actually *broadcasts* the reported/calculated location of each phone, in plaintext beacons from the satellite that anyone who tunes to the right frequency can receive. I wonder what sort of NSA influence was used in designing *that* protocol. If you care about location privacy, don't use a satphone. Or hack your phone deeply, to report a false location, perhaps one that belongs to your enemies.
