Re: Storm in a bottle? said by TamaraB:... Can you see ANY benefit to using the newly patented Latency method over billing/ISP/DHCP information? If so, please tell me, as I am totally bewildered as to why the NSA is spending money developing an inferior geolocation method from what currently exists. ... Bob The only use that comes to mind for me is in making the "rough cut" on determining the location of a VOIP user dialing 9-1-1 from a new location not shared with his VOIP provider--but this would assume that the user could provide "finer" detail on location (street address, hotel name, etc.) but if the user can provide that, they can provide the name of the metro area, too.
Besides, if this needs "many samples", you aren't going to get those in time to help someone through 9-1-1.
