And for the record, the GPS locators currently in cell phones tend *not* to work indoors, so even if you are lucky enough to live in an area where E911 is plugged into your cell phone carrier's locator service, you still have a high probability of being screwed.
No idea why this is relevant to NANOG, but cell phone location works by cell triangulation, not by GPS. So if the cell phone is working indoors, the locator service should work. Alex
