Right, but does it really help? Mostly I have called a cab it helped pretty much to define a meeting point, like "..just in front of the red house number xx". With the accuracy of 120m with triangulation by most cellular providers it's more a pain than a help, isn't it?

Due to the limitations of the phone networks, this implementation faces a few obstacles. Nonetheless, in my opinion success will be measured in the positive/negative response by the customers, who are the ones who will actually use this service or not.

Totally your point :-) However would you bet money on it (= invest in such a company) actually?

Response from: Mario    (08/31/03 6:03pm)

Currently I wouldn't. It is a high-risk venture which makes it unattractive to me. Although I think that the possible payoff in case of success might be worth the investment to some VC firms.

But to sum it up: I wouldn't invest in this company and according to your arguments I anticipate you wouldn't do so either :)

Mmh, I don't see such a big margin from it, being a cab operator and paying good fees to mobile network operators. But even http://www.ekahau.comhttp://www.ekahau.com">http://www.ekahau.com /> has a business case. :-)
