Can't GSM phones use GPS?

by erogers Mar 25, 2005, 9:42 AM

Is there something inherent in GSM phones or the GSM network that prevents them from using GPS in the handsets? It seems like GPS would be the only solution for a rural carrier without the multiple towers necessary for triangulation. It seems odd that they are even attempting it. Why can't they use GPS?
