Description Zeeshan Ali 2014-06-18 20:02:27 UTC 
While its a good thing in theory that you readily get the coordinates for CDMA towers, I'm told by Mozilla Location Service folks that its not very reliable data and there is no way of knowing how reliable these coordinates really are. So if I could get the following from MMLocationCdmaBs as well:

* system id
* network id
* base station id
* mcc

in Geoclue, I'll be able to ask Mozilla Location Service where the tower is and if its not in their DB, I'll resort to the coordinates provided already by the tower.
