I don't put my location in my profile but make a real effort to add qualifiers to international issues and companies, eg, T-Mobile US vs UK, et al. Does that work?
Well you see, next step after getting the location piece meshed with the devices & users, would be the idea of having a profile app/panel on one's device where things like company, etc. would be placed. And then web services and social networks would (like twitter, flickr and others) ask to be authenticated against your device to display this data.

Hard as all beans to code I'm sure, but definitely the meshing point that many mobile forums should have.
