Report in a Nutshell
Anyone with a smart phone and a data plan can easily obtain and use
location-based and location-aware services. However, there are issues
that come with that ease of use including privacy and a one-to-one
relationship between end-user and LBS application provider. The current
environment is sub-optimal in terms of functionality and consumer
protection. Our research indicates that the location brokering model
will evolve to encompass mediation functions and ultimately lead to
location federation.
This research examines how location data is obtained, managed, and
distributed. The report evaluates the brokering and mediation functions
for LBS and analyzes the future of location federation. The report
evaluates the role and function of the broker and mediator. It also
evaluates the core and value-added functionality provided by a
federated location model.
Target Audience
- LBS executives
