The redshift distribution of gamma-ray bursts as established by the SWIFT satellite demonstrates that GRBs can be used as cosmological probes well into, and perhaps beyond, the reionization epoch at z 5-10. To utilize this unique probe, it is important to follow up with photometry and spectroscopy from the ground and possibly also from space. We carry out a Monte Carlo simulation of the cosmic GRB activity and the world-wide response of optical facilities. The goal of this study is to determine the limitations of the current global GRB response capabilities which may have to be overcome in order to fully benefit from opportunities provided by new GRB missions, such as EXIST.
