Will 2004 finally see the implementation of Local Number Portability ?

(PRWEB) January 7, 2004 --Research and Markets announces the addition of this new report entitled "Location-Based Applications: Seeking Signs of Demand or Supply"

With all the focus on the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) deadline-driven demand for local number portability (LNP), it is worth revisiting e911-whose original deadline has long since passed without complete implementation-and the commercial opportunities location-based services (LBS) enable.

This report questions why e911 has not yet been implemented and also if there consumer demand for LBS, and, if so, which services? A discussion as to whether privacy concerns are inhibiting market growth is also provided.
