“This patent is so basic that it would be hard to get around it. Just about any location-based system at its heart has to transmit a local location and receive information in return. That leaves the question of what Apple will decide to do … and to whom.”
“patent originally dating back to 1998″

Doesn’t a patent that isn’t enforced become unenforceable down the road?
So they’ll need to sue others or lose their patent protection.
