Cellular News reports that Latin American LBS are on the increase:
Despite years of build-up and hype, location based services were still in an early stage of slow growth at the beginning of 2005. From about the year 2000, only a handful of operators worldwide had launched location based services for their enterprise and individual subscribers. However, the recent introduction of 3G network technology in many markets (and many more to come) coupled with the emphasis on boosting data revenues, it seems like the stage is finally set for widespread rollouts during 2006 and 2007.
This analysis is backed up by the results of a recent survey carried out by Genasys in the Latin American telecoms market. According to respondents, 62% of operators are currently evaluating LBS services, vendors, and business models in preparation for roll-outs to take place in the next 12-24 months.
The original report is from Genasys.
