16.7 million mobile phone subscribers used location-based

services on their phones in March 2011.

Mobile commerce - Mobile vouchers, coupons and loyalty cards

1 Mobile ticketing technology can also be used for the distribution of vouchers, coupons,

and loyalty cards. These items are represented by a virtual token that is sent to the mobile phone. A customer presenting a

mobile phone with one of these tokens at the point of sale receives the same benefits as if they had the traditional token. Stores may send coupons to customers using location-

based services to determine when the customer is nearby.

2003, networks do not use trilateration; LBS services use a

single base station, with a 'radius' of inaccuracy, to determine a phone's

location.

Mobile marketing - Location-based services

1 Some location-based services work without GPS tracking technique,

instead transmitting content between devices peer-to-peer.

Mobile app

Mobile phone tracking

1 Mobile positioning, which includes location based service that discloses the actual

coordinates of a mobile phone bearer, is a technology used by telecommunication

companies to approximate the location of a mobile phone, and thereby also its user

(bearer). The more properly applied term locating refers to the purpose rather than a

positioning process. Such service is offered as an option of the class of location-based services (LBS)., Shu Wang, Jungwon Min and Byung K. Yi,

2006/24/EC. However the applicability of legal provisions to varying forms of LBS and

of processing location data is unclear.

1 One implication of this technology is that data about a subscriber's location and

historical movements is owned and controlled by the network operators,

including mobile carriers and mobile content providers.[http://whygeo.com/questions/26/w
