RE: [Geopriv] RE: Strawman Proposal

Definitely - most certainly. And Australia does support SIMless calling, the emergency services would like to turn it off. New Zealand did, in fact, turn it off in the last 18 months. My point, however, is that the actual identity of the caller isn't the gating factor. Indeed, the question of whether you're using your phone or someone else's doesn't come up. The fact that the specific issue of SIMless calling policy varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction just goes to show that different jurisdictions do have different policies and the networks need to provide the hooks for those policies that each one does consider necessary.
