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?
