Wireless location, led by location-based services has finally hit the mainstream. Finally, and there is no turning back! End-users - businesses, government agencies, and consumers - are rapidly learning about and adopting LBS. Carriers are making the necessary strategic and financial committments, as are venture capitalists, angel investors, and other financial backers; and the wireless developer community as a whole is racing to incorporate location into ever higher-value applications.
Up until now, the focus in the LBS "community" has been in keeping LBS alive and nurturing its growth, particularly after it went on hard times in the first half of this decade, and justifiably so. Major LBS companies had to drastically refocus their efforts or be acquired to survive, and some did not. This carnage extended into the LBS support community - including online LBS newsletters - with at least two print publications "biting the dust." The good news: the industry has now recovered, and is poised for explosive growth.
Similar to the evolution of online and print magazines covering various technologies and particularly the PC world, LBS Globe has its roots in the LBS infrastructure world, where frankly the readers were the industry "insiders." Wireless location services have now evolved to the point now to recognize in a media capacity the need of LBS purchasers and end-users for an impartial, but expert view on LBS - what are the available applications, how do they compare, what are the issues for businesses and consumers, and what issues need to be dealt with at the next level of LBS development. LBS Globe intends on leading the way in providing this information. We hope you enjoy it!
