The PHS location based service, do anyone know how accurate this information
is?

It is very interesting, the coordinates will be provided by a location based
server? How can this data be retrieved?

	"The .i service differs from other similar mobile Internet
	services such as i-mode, because it can let  content providers
	freely develop and show open contents on the Internet that
	support location information functions for PHS phones."

	This all sounds really interesting. The article also says
	the location information is accessible through CGI. How
	if the location information passed in practise? In the pages
	is an example like the following:

	http://www.xxxx.co.jp/xxxx?pos=N35.39.36.38E139.45.34.47

	Does this mean the gateway adds the pos=xxx part to the
	request before passing the request to the content server?
