Sinclair is referring to Global Positioning System, a technology that the Federal Communications Commission is forcing the cellular phone industry to invest millions in that will allow emergency dispatchers to pinpoint 911 calls from mobile phones. That system is scheduled to be operating nationwide by October. But issuing that locater information to third parties may be challenging. Sinclair said the wireless gambling industry should have no problem overcoming those obstacles, because if people want to gamble at an online casino and it requires them to provide certain information, the gamblers will do so. The gambling industry is a whole different animal.
Casinos can kick anybody out if they want.
Cabot said the technology to locate cell phone users is very sophisticated and reliable, but may be too expensive to implement. For those of us that prefer internet wagering as opposed to telephone, I would think wireless techonology is what we all dream of. My techie friends predict this will be possible in 5-10 years. When a PC is currently not available, many of us don't like having to call and go over many lines - especially at multiple books. So being able to use a laptop from a remote location is the dream.
