Re: [Ecrit] Location Protocols in Phone BCP



No objection to saying that SUPL in its present form is not a good
choice for wire-map, but would object to saying the same for other types
of 'non-measured' location.  

Rather, SUPL is in fact an excellent choice for non-endpoint measured
location such as 'CellID'.
