inCode also wants operators to go back to basics and focus on their core services, and make them work well.
Regarding location, I agree with what is said: Only GPS provides enough precision, but I don't see that a critical mass of phones will get GPS this year. Yet, there are ways to get a reasonable precision via the mobile network, but operators don't seem to see any opportunity there, despite the hype about LBS, so I don't expect much better offerings from operators during 2007. Rather , phone manufacturers control the short term fate of LBS.
