In a ZONE OF LOCALISATION (group of cells: 4-6), the network
doesn't know in which cell the GSM standby is. The reason is
that each operator sends a periodic (2 times per hour )
location updating the signal between BTS and GSM. This log is 
kept a certain time by each operator: COMTEC in Norway, SFR 
in France: 2 days, Swisscom to 1997: 6 mois, DeteMobil in 
Germany: 2 weeks,... A Swiss federal commission is investigating
Swisscom (http://www.edsb.ch) from 1.98 to 7.98 concerning 
this log giving the position (1-10 km) of each GSM in standby.
