Location Based Services
Location Based Services (LBS) are rapidly gaining critical mass and mainstream acceptance with the growing number of smart phone users, innovative applications and sophisticated positioning systems. The mobile location-based services (MLBS) market is predicted to grow more than $12.7 billion by 2014 and is positioned to become a key driver for future revenue growth. Today, the scope of LBS is expanding and is no longer restricted to navigation, tracking and information services but also encompasses entertainment, mobile advertising, social media, workforce management and much more.
