A dream would be, when the network poeretor wouldn't be just neutral, when they serve assited GPS data for free or a fixed price (1-2 Euro/month) When there is an open protocoll for serve assited data http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/59560 It seems that SUPL (Secure User Plane Location) is for this, HP has an own protcoll and did compared both here: http://h71019.www7.hp.com/enterprise/downloads/Article_Dueling_Architectures_UserPlane-ControlPlane.pdf And an idea for an WAP extension: Because some network operators have interesting tariffs with wap flat, it could be work to serve LTO or AGPS data via wap to have fixed costs. rob _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
