I grabbed this list from their personal planner called "My 3GSM experience" that I copied and pasted. So, 50 listed under location technology and services. From 1300 stands. Is that a lot? How many were there last year, one wonders? Why don't we see LBS on the agenda at Telecomms conferences here in Australia more often, one also wonders?
