Mika, The project apparently satisfies a future(USA) Federal Communications Commission requirement --- Message 6385174 Under the proposed agreement, Ericsson and Omnipoint Technologies will begin joint development of radio base station equipment to be used to enable GSM systems to provide highly accurate mobile location and positioning services. The joint project will initially be focused on developing location- based services for PCS-1900 systems in the North American GSM market. The jointly developed system will be available in time to meet the year 2001 FCC mandate for locating a 911 caller within 125 meters of the callers' position at least 2/3 of the time. The system will also increase operator revenues by enabling enhanced location based services such as location-specific traffic reports, concierge services, and promotional messages. Mardy
