Cool.
I think the FSO guys could pick up this idea and integrate this in their
backend.
o2 home zone is probably not the only message programms might want
notifications for.
I'm just realising that they might already have this. And as i can see,
they at least thought about it. :)

phil, i would really love to see this included in the home screen or the
panel app.
I'm not sure it makes much sense to define some state file anywhwere.
Since a real public api would probably not make much sense yet when we
expect the FSO backends to take over eventually.
Just my 2 Eurocents anyways... ;)

Hello,
i have O2 in Germany,
O2 gives you a "Homezone" this is a defined area in your city where you
get a cheaper tariff.
For that matter, O2 stores 1 to 4 coordinates on your sim card.
They also send Cellbroadcast messages with the current position of the
cell you using.
I wrote a small daemon which uses libgsmd to get this sim infos and
cellbroadcasts and writes a file (/var/run/homezone-state)
I also wrote a small test gtk app which displays HomeZone or Mobile in
the title, because i cant get the panels apps to compile.
I run into some Problems.
1. as mentioned i cant get the panel apps to compile (take a look at my
other post)
2. where should i store the "state" file?
3. i have problems getting the cell broadcast messages. if i power the
antenna down and register i receive successfully the cellbroadcast and
the homezone detection works, but after the first broadcast i get no new
one if i enter or leave the homezone.
4. some devs here which want to test it?
thanks,
phil
