The GPS idea on tracking phones has been out for years and some employers have done that to see where their employees are who carry phones.
I can see an easy transition of small tags in dogs which can transmit locations on the cell data network for a monthly fee. Maybe it would have to start out as a dog collar.
I have my dog implanted with a chip in case he gets lost or stolen. Yeah it's not automatic and needs to be scanned by it can save his life if he is ever in a shelter.
There are cities (Chicago is one I think) who installed a "mesh network" throughout the city and the CCTV cameras just transmit along that wireless network. It's kinda like wireless router but handles a large portion of a city with all the receivers instAlled.
Cool stuff.
You have to be careful with this technology I bought a bird dog took it to the vet and had him put a chip in the dog.After hunting him for a season took it back to the vet and had the chip removed if this dog ever got lost I did not want him to find his way back.
