You can't use ip addresses to determine where you are because they are
not accurate enoughband VPN tunnels confuse things. See my prior email
for how we are addressing this.
1-1-2 works in nearly all of western europe on mobiles, and there are
rough equivalents for wireline.
We have 20 years experience with e911 in the U.S that says you are wrong
about the importance of accurate automatic location reporting. In every
major PSAP, every day there is an incident where the caller cannot tell
the call taker where they are.
We will accurate report floor, and in most cases room level accuracy
with the mechanisms we are standardizing now. We will need mobiles to
improve in that regard, although dual wifi/cell phones will pick up
location from the closest ap in the worse case, and may get triangulated
location eventually.
