Its amazing how technology shortens phone conversations. Caller ID means we no longer have to start phone conversations with “Hi it’s Alan, is that Fergus?”.

And now Locle means the mobile phone age conversation opener “what are you up to?” will be made redundant.

Possible replaced with enquiries such as “What are you doing by the canal this late at night?”

What next, automated goodbye audio signatures?

Should really be call Locale “Urban” as Cell ID is of no real use outside major urban areas where the absence of a second or third Mobile Phone mast reduces the resolution to several hundred meters.

In general, Cell ID is not suited to actively finding people, places or things. Locale really needs a GPS enabled phone to make it useful and allow it take full benefit from the new PON Code system for Ireland.
