Caxton, I don't understand your comment, perhaps you misread.... If a network does position by way of GPS in the phone, a user must purchase a new phone in order for that network to know the user's location. That is a drawback. What if a user roams into a network that does location w/i the phone and that user does not have a GPS enabled phone, then that user's accurate position will not be known if an emergency call is made. Determining the location within the network is more flexible to the end user. #1) The user does not have to buy a new phone. #2) If a user roams into a network that does position w/i the network, that user's position will be known. This is more of a wait and see. When was that FCC mandate, wasn't it in Oct 2000? We'll see how many providers are going to do position w/i the phone or position w/i the network. Of course, I am biased, I feel as though position will be done w/i the network. dave
