Background:

A new generation of mobile devices will be equipped with positioning devices able to pinpoint the device location. This geographic location may be used to deliver a range of location-based services such as location-sensitive search engines, localised news service, anti-theft alarms and navigation aids. It may also be used to track peoples movements, or to target consumers with promotional messages when they pass close by a retail store or service.
The next generation of cellphones in the US will be equipped with locating ability under the E911 program in order to give caller location to emergency services. This location may also be used to deliver a range of location-based services.
