Japan pioneers phone-internet link-up

Well, how about this innovation? In the latest technological breakthrough, a Japanese service allows the owner of a specialised mobile phone to point it at a hotel, a restaurant or a historical monument and instantaneously obtain information from the internet describing the building the person is looking at. Japan is first in the field because it has regulations that, by next year, will require mobile phones to have receivers linked to the Global Positioning System to establish their location.
