Technically, it was possible to l ocate a mobile phone user based on his proximity to mobile network cel ls and offer him bespoke services as early as 2001. But the well-known hindrances of the German mobile business - namely handset fragmentati on and suffocating operator policies - prevented LBS to ever take off. \n\nAs in many other applications of the Mobile Internet, it took outs ide players to change the game. GPS-based location finding is not only more convenient than cell bearing but emancipates LBS from operator p re-product pricing, thus making a whole new array of services feasible and affordable to both businesses and consumers. However, as in all i ndustries, the fact that a product and service is technically feasible and financially affordable does not mean that consumers will actually want it. Mobile TV is one recent example of a product that, despite m uch effort in creation, ultimately nobody wanted. Mobile payment is an other one.\n\nSo how can LBS avoid the same fate? Quite obviously, for LBS there are some fundamental advantages already. Nokia, Apple and m ost other manufacturers of multimedia handsets have integrated mapping functionalities into the very default setup of their products. No-one in the market doubts that \"location\" is a highly attractive, even i ndispensable driver of services and advertising - in fact, through aff ordable car navigation systems it has already become a consumer standa rd.\n\nHowever, all market players realize that the mere existence of maps and location-finding alone won't bring in the money. They are not ends, but means - enablers for business-driven ideas and services. An d these ideas and services, as on the internet, won't come down from b ig corporations. They are being developed at street level - by startup s, agencies or small internet companies. Who in turn often lack reach and stamina to establish themselves on the bigger scale needed to crea te sustainable business. So ultimately, the challenge is in bringing t he players together in a sensible and profitable way - which is not ea sy given the fact that in Mobile, there is no unifying platform like M icrosoft's was for computing and the internet. This, however, is where grassroots industry organisations like Mobile Monday can play a signi ficant role. And so it will - come and participate on September 7!\n\n Yours,\nMobile Monday Team\nBerlin\n\nEvent Sponsor\n\n \nSpecial Partner\n\n\nFor mor e information visit
