I was recently contracted to map out the location of every Wi-Fi<br>access point, in the the city where I live, for a company called<br>Skyhook Wireless. They are using this data to provide a positioning<br>system that can be used in lieu of satellite based GPS. I'm curious

<br>supporting the growing market for location-based services. The Skyhook<br>Wi-Fi Positioning System (WPS) requires no new hardware, works indoors<br>and outdoors, provides an instant location and is more accurate than<br>
current technologies in congested downtown areas. Skyhook Wireless is<br>headquartered in Needham, MA and is privately held.<br><br>Check out <a href="http://www.skyhookwireless.com">www.skyhookwireless.com</a> and <a href="http://www.loki.com">
