ABSTRACT
In developing services, the developer has to consider four dimensions: Marketplace, Technical, Organizational and Economic. In the process of developing a service, each of these four dimensions has to be analyzed and the different aspects taken into account. The indoor location-based services industry is in a ferment stage. There is a bottleneck effect slowing down the deployment of indoor Location-based service (LBS) applications. Starting with the outdoor LBS market, LBS had originally been labelled a killer application for wireless applications, and widespread impact has been repeatedly predicted by vendors since the wireless Internet bubble of the late 1990s. The market for LBS has begun to emerge but has been hampered to date by the limitations of traditional positioning systems. The argument of Place Lab is that in order for LBS applications to reach critical mass levels, coverage is more crucial than accuracy and cost.
