LOCINT? GEOINT? It’s getting confusing
I read this FOX News report on True Position’s new location platform called LOCINT that is designed for the tracking and location of cellular phone calls. The FOX News item seems to be confusing the product name with the broader category of "location intelligence" used by Directions Media’s as the name for our Location Intelligence Conference and others in describing the use of location technology for a variety of information technology applications. FOX News likes to inject its "fear and greed" factor by describing the technology as one used to track terrorists…but only where it’s legal. The news report goes into detail on why it can’t or shouldn’t be used in the U.S. For purely biased reasons, I found the report confusing but are we naming for the sake of naming: LOCINT…Do they mean GEOINT?
