Please cite an instance.

We do not believe that the requirement for the endpoint to query the LIS or
the LoST server is onerous on any cellular network.  In the scheme of things
that IP based devices (we are talking about IP connected devices, not
current GSM/CDMA systems) are expected to do, a HELD and LoST query is very
modest in bandwidth, code size and compute power.
