“…As multiple industry players contribute to the quality of service and to the creating of location value, increasing customer demand will also depend on the degree of collaboration between the industry participants. While commercial initiative can play a role in driving demand government regulation may help leverage the LBS infrastructure potential [9].…”

“…The compliance deadline was extended to 2005; some financial incentives to operators were also provided. The E911 legislation has determined to a significant extent the choice of positioning technology made by mobile network operators as high accuracy is needed to support emergency services [9,53,54].…”

“…As seen the E911 compliant infrastructure offers a ready platform for implementing commercial and public LBS however the service supply process is considered to be relatively slow [9,32]. Future growth in LBS is predicted to reach 1.1 million subscribed devices by the end of 2010.…”

“…First a range of science and technology developments are involved and need to be integrated [7]; second LBS deployment needs to follow a business model meeting the requirements of the potential customer market [8]. Finally, the regulatory environment in the deployment area needs to be taken into account [9]. Subsequently, current academic research in the area of LBS focuses on business models and user related issues (e.g., customer acceptance, personal information privacy, service usability, service attractiveness to customers and other end-users), and on LBS applications and enabling technologies.…”

The advancements in mobile, wireless and positioning technologies have enabled applications and services such as route guiding and emergency call-out assistance. These and other similar services have become known as 'location-based services' (LBS). The literature on LBS development and deployment addresses technological issues (for example, usability and integration) and issues related to LBS implementation-including LBS business models, adoption and customer concerns and requirements. In the study presented here LBS development and deployment were investigated from a case study perspective and the LBS landscape is explored and analyzed. The study finds that while the regulatory environment has played a critical role as a success factor in the markets investigated some of innovative business approaches may have been equally important as customer demand generators. Economies on the road to deploying LBS should therefore focus on creating a supportive environment encouraging the development of services, which meet the identified needs and requirements of the target customer market.

“…The government role in technology adoption is supposed to be one of promoting technology use, providing the underlying infrastructure, investing in the necessary education and training, and occasionally providing direct funding and tax incentives for adoption, as well as regulating the operation of manufacturers, suppliers and users [25]. In the western democratic system, government intervention in such processes is to ensure some level of equity (spatial and demographic) of access to new technologies [26].…”

Abstract:For those who have access to them, technologies of various sorts play a key role in maintaining connections between small and geographically dispersed settlements and to the wider World. For technologies to work in remote areas, there must be a framework of adaptability which ensures that users can adapt their practices to suit the new technology, technologies can be customised for local conditions, and an institutional infrastructure (including a regulatory environment) allows these adaptations to occur. In recent times, remote Australia's -power to persuade‖ government to consider its needs when designing regulatory environments has diminished as a result of the changing nature of remote economies. This paper uses two case examples-that of air transport technology and that of communications technology-to demonstrate how a poor regulatory environment in effect increases the isolation of remote settlements. In the case of air transport, over regulation has made the cost of adoption and access too high for many remote dwellers. In the case of communications technology, de-regulation has made it difficult for remote dwellers to demand equity of access to infrastructure. We conclude by suggesting that regulatory systems need to be more aware of the unique conditions facing remote populations. Research into the persistently low rates of technology adoption in remote areas needs to be more cognizant of the regulatory adaptability aspect.
