GPS for 911 calls

[Martin Lefkowitz]

There is an IETF group (BOF?) looking into this.  802.11k and v are also 
trying to provide some solutions, but they are uncoordinated as far as I 
know.  IMHO it needs to be an IETF solution because of the converged 
devices that are cropping up.  I'm not sure anyone has lifted their 
heads out of -- the sand -- yet on this though.
