you'd have thought by now that there would be a
standardised location system that for instance could be incorporated in
a mobile that when you made a 112 or 999 call then that info was
transmitted to the emergency services so they'd know exactly were you
are rightaway without any fuss to which standard you were using?..

BT provide data via the EISEC system ...



AMLit seems?..


AML was developed in the United Kingdom by British Telecom, EE Limited,
and HTC as a solution to problematic caller location in emergencies.[2]
When a person in distress calls the emergency services with a smart-
phone where AML is enabled, the telephone automatically activates its
location service to establish its position and sends this information to
the emergency services via an SMS.[3] The services uses either a global
navigation satellite system or WiFi depending on which one is better at
the given moment. It was estimated that this technique is up to 4000
times more accurate than the previously used system.[4] AML is being
implemented in the UK by an increasing number of smart-phone
manufacturers and mobile network operators: BT, the mobile networks EE,
O2 and Three, together with Apple Inc., HTC, Sony, Alcatel, and Samsung
handsets, have already successfully implemented AML.[5]
