In the future it would get set by whatever configures your network connection. Either system scripts like ifup/ifdown, or configured manually in the config files that ifup/ifdown use, or automatically via NetworkManager based on some setting, or via NetworkManager based on a user-override. One idea I've toyed with for NetworkManager is using the city you select in the GUI Timezone control panel that all desktop environments for timezone selection. Just a thought. Or, it could come from a system-wide setting by your sysadmin in /etc, or set on a per-connection basis when you set up the NetworkManager connection for that AP in the NM connection editor.
