The worldwide market for
location-based telecommunication services is expected to exceed $1.6 billion in
2008 as an ever increasing number of cellular and other wireless carriers
provide customized services based upon a location-awareness of their end-users.
According to a new market research study from The Insight
Research Corporation, location-based telecommunication services are most popular
in European and Mid-East countries, where they provide wireless subscribers with
tailored information based upon their current physical location.
Insight
Research’s market analysis study, entitled
“Location Based
Services Market, 2008-2013”, notes that location-based services are part
of a worldwide push by carriers to create new IP-enabled services for consumers
and business users. The study notes that consumers of mobile telecommunications
services are adopting location based services along with other IP-enabled
services such as presence based services, video telephony, fixed-mobile
convergence, file sharing, and streaming services.
“In the early 1990s the use of
global positioning systems with wireless telecommunications was restricted to
military applications,” says Robert Rosenberg, Insight
Research. “Now the application is commonplace, with applications that range from
automobile navigation systems to mothers using the technology to keep track of
their children based on cell phone location,” Rosenberg concluded.
