“Mine comes from AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, et al.”

Your, what? GPS? GPS doesn’t come from cell carriers. ONLY the USAF provides GPS signals from satellites. Cell carriers have nothing to do with it.

” I don’t think there is any plan to “shut it down, shut it down now”.”

Don’t believe everything you think, you’re not that informed. Yes, there is a protocol for turning off GPS.

If Cell carriers are using GPS to track you (As the conversation I replied to) then they aggregate that GPS data. I’m aware of how GPS works.

There is a protocol for turning off GPS but it wasn’t instantaneous when I was in the field.

If it is now, it seems kinda stupid. Not all key resources have access to the milGPS.
