The network operator would then be able to configure locally meaningful information. This would be a similar responsibility to what PBX admins already have to do, as others have pointed out. Less clueful and/or home users would need to have dire warnings printed in the doc and displayed on screen about configuring the correct location information, but that can easily be done in new equipment and updates to older software. Adding the information as a DHCP option sounds interesting. Maybe bears further discussion....? --Chris
