  • On Geo Location Services for Telecom Operators
    On Geo Location Services for Telecom Operators DMITRY NAMIOT 1, MANFRED SNEPS-SNEPPE 2 1Lomonsow Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia [email protected] 2Ventspils University College, Ventspils, Latvia [email protected] Abstract: - This paper presents location based service for telecom providers. Most of the location-based services in the mobile networks are introduced and deployed by Internet companies. It leaves for telecom just the role of the data channel. Telecom providers should use their competitive advantages and offer own solutions. In this paper, we discuss the sharing location information via geo messages. Geo messages let mobile users share location information as signatures to the standard messages (e.g., email, SMS). Rather than let some service constantly monitor (poll) the user’s location (as the most standalone services do) or share location info within any social circle (social network check-in, etc.) The Geo Messages approach lets users share location data on the peer to peer basis. Users can share own location info with any existing messaging systems. And messaging (e.g., SMS) is the traditional service for telecom. Key-Words: - geocoding, LBS, location, messaging, telecom, OMA SUPL 1 Introduction privacy is probably the biggest issue with this It is obvious, that the question “where are you” is approach. All potential users should be aware that one of the most often asked during the some third party tool is constantly monitoring their communications. 600 billion text messages per year location and saves it on the some external server. in the US ask "where are you?" – as per Location And, of course, the shortened life of the handset’s Business Summit 2010 data.

    school bookstore hotel home courthouse doctor favorite bar Location-Based Services: A Publication of the ACLU of Northern California Time for a Privacy Check-In NOVEMBER 2010 A publication of the ACLU of Northern California www.dotrights.org www.aclunc.org/tech Available online at www.DotRights.org eed to get directions when you are lost? Looking for a restaurant nearby? Want to know if your friends are in the neighborhood? Location-based services—applications and websites that Nprovide services or information based on your current location—can put this information and more in the palm of your hand. But while it may be easy to find people or places, finding the privacy protections for all of the sensitive data collected by these location-based services can be far more difficult. Can location-based services protect your privacy? Do they? And what can we do to improve the situation? Location-Based Services: Time for a Privacy Check-In is the third in a series of issue papers by the ACLU of Northern California that discuss new technology trends and their consequences. This paper examines the current state of legal and technical privacy protections for users of location-based services and explores opportunities for consumers, businesses, and policymakers to work together to update and enhance these protections. Part I of this paper provides background information on location-based services. Part II examines the privacy concerns that arise from the use of location-based services and Part III surveys the current state of privacy protections for consumers of these services. Finally, Part IV identifies opportunities for consumers, businesses, and policymakers to reinforce privacy protections for location information so that individuals are not forced to pay for location-based services with control over their personal information.
