Just as a general note added to the discussion: As far as I remember, there has been a highest federal court ruling in Austria some time ago, stating that the location information though present for anyone to read in the intrinsics of the GSM signal, cannot be used without explicit permission by the network operator.
The point they made was that the subscription contract between the operator and the customer covers things like voice calls, data calls, GPRS data, etc - but it does not permit the use of GSM signals for locating the handset on the customer side. I don't say I like this, and I also don't say OM should not investigate thsi further. I'm just stating that there are legal issues and somebody inside FIC legal should probably do an extensive survey of the legal situation all over the target market to make sure OM doesn't get into trouble here.
