...when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.
Seriously, though -- how many AP's are out there already, without GPS? I doubt that the FCC would try to make people turn in their old equipment. Besides, it would be far too easy to simply disable the GPS in your AP, especially with custom firmware.
Not to mention that underground equipment would be impossible to track, either the phone or the access point. Are you a terrorist? Want to make a phone call? Do it in the subway/mall basement/wherever else you can't get a GPS signal. And believe me, "registration" ain't gonna happen; good luck even STARTING on that mess.
