"The company has just launched a mobile phone app that pairs the chip with the phone’s GPS, enabling the implantee’s ___location to be tracked (...) Could he ever see the company using GPS to track its chipped employees? “No,” he says. “There’s no reason to.”
Maybe the CEO just meant -he- wouldn't ever use that, but to my mind the question makes more sense as asking "Hey, do you plan on putting a GPS on the chip" rather than "Hey, do you plan on actually using this functionality you just built out". But I may just be misunderstanding. That said, the level of technical knowledge of mainstream reporting has...generally not been the best.

The phone app reads the RFID to ensure that the person is at the same ___location as the phone.
