Ah, now this brings us back to the original concern with mobile phone
positioning - not being able to get the cell id out of the phone via
bluetooth. Given this does seem possible, we just need to work out
which MPS system has the most open API for a proof of concept.
Of course, I say "we", although as a non-developer (certainly not of the
calibre of others here), I'm not sure how much I can help....
