The article points out this can cover huge swaths and millions of buildings at once. It speaks of covering a continent with subsidence alerts. Afixing gps to each building might not be competitive.

It can do that. And that's pretty cool. But that's not what they chose to focus the article on.

The first few paragraphs are about the Millennium Tower, but that's just the hook. The rest of the article discusses the wide-area applications, including SF, elsewhere in the Bay Area, and Oslo, Norway.
