If I were mean, I’d say that Tata Indicom’s idea of location based services (LBS) is probably a wireless data card connection that actually works. But I’m not, so I won’t say that. There’s news, however, from the telco on the LBS front - Qualcomm (NSDQ: QCOM) has announced that Tata Teleservices will commercially deploy location based services on multiple handsets later this year. The LBS uses triangulation and satellite based GPS service. Unfortunately, there’s not much on which services will actually be launched, apart from the usual - consumer services like “friend finder” and social networking apps, as well as enterprise services like asset and fleet tracking. Tata Teleservices has a subscriber base of around 25 million.
