Comment

No Cell Id based solution is sufficiently (or consistently) accurate to support serious, business-critical LBS. GPS, or even better A-GPS is the way to go. A-GPS solutions now exist for cheap (<€150) devices to support the services Orange mention, with GPS precision and accuracy to 10m, even indoors. My advice - don't waste time and money on Cell Id, go SUPL A-GPS!
