[Geowanking] Verizon Location Services Walled Garden

[Allan Doyle]

At Where 2.0 in 2005 (or was it 2006? - I'm pretty sure it was 05)  
the Nextel people had the best LBS developer story. I just googled  
for "nextel lbs developer" and this is the top result

http://developer.sprint.com/site/global/develop/technologies/ 
location_based_serv/p_lbs.jsp

Not that I'm particularly knowledgeable about any carrier-based LBS....
