T-Mobile USA has decided to abandon 'enhanced observed time division of arrival' (E-OTD)

E-911 location technology and instead move forward with 'time division of arrival' (TDOA)
technology. T-Mobile follows the similar moves from its fellow GSM operators AT&T Wireless

and Cingular Wireless. T-Mobile told the FCC that its decision to abandon E-OTD was based
on
a number of factors. Foremost was whether or not there would be continued vendor
commitment
to implementing and upgrading E-OTD to meet the FCC's October accuracy standard given that

both AT&T Wireless and Cingular Wireless have decided not to use E-OTD in their networks.
