change the topic to something else from 'submitted draft RFC', because
oftentimes it takes an enormous amount of time between draft state and
RFC state - several years during which there are many opportunities for
this to disappear altogether or pursued under a completely different name

Dear all.
I have submittetd the following draft RFC for approval.
Obviously whilst underground mobile phone users at public locations,
such as the London underground, will not be able to know their GPS
location, as the GPS signals cannot penetrate the earth. I have
submitted a RFC draft at
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-brew-intarea-underground-01 to bypass
this problem, as well as a server application in Java at
https://github.com/rydal/underground .
As we know the IP Address contacting the server the server contains a
map containing the GPS location of each underground site, as referenced
by IP address. The returns the phsycial GPS location and name of the
site as a JSON array.
To prevent false servers reporting inaccurate information https can be
used to verify the authenticity of the server.
Providing this service to mobile phone user's without a current WIfi
connection i propose going one stage further, create a hidden wireless
network wih the name ".location". In cases where no GPS location can be
found a mobile phone's GPS system can be programmed to seek such a
network providing the same service.
This would require alterations to th servics as provided by mobile phone
providers such as Apple and Android.
If you are interested in this concept please review it (and my code),
and maybe it will become something.
For a video demonstration of this service please check the link at the
github site.
Thanks,
Rob Brew.
