       | This article discusses an alternative programming model for
       | services that use location information. The paper proposes a new
       | architecture for such services, which does not require users to
       | share information about their location with service providers
       | (services). This architecture is based on the author's proposed
       | network spatial proximity model, where geocomputation is replaced
       | by direct proximity measurement. This approach explicitly assumes
       | that most services, using location information, describe
       | (provide) some local services. Accordingly, geo-coordinates are
       | used only for calculating proximity when searching (selecting)
       | offers. It opens up the possibility of replacing geo-coordinates
       | with direct measurement of proximity. Within the network
       | proximity model, geo-computation is replaced by direct proximity
       | definitions. And it is proposed to form this measurement of
       | proximity based on the physical availability of signals of
       | wireless network nodes, thus building cyber-physical systems.
