Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
To help the winners and runners-up in all three regions of the competition significantly reduce their first-year overhead costs of commercial deployment, deCarta says it will also be awarding complimentary one-year licensing of its Drill Down Server geospatial software platform or Hosted Web Services.
J. Kim Fennell, President and CEO of deCarta says: “The Navteq Global LBS Challenge provides an excellent forum for talented application developers to showcase their cutting-edge market-ready mobile solutions.
“We are pleased to once again play an integral part of a program that has helped so many companies launch their commercial solutions, and to provide enabling geospatial tools and technologies to the developer community to enhance and streamline the delivery of their location-enabled applications.”
Marc Naddell, Vice President, Partner and Developer Programs, Navteq says: “We are thrilled that deCarta has increased their commitment to the LBS Challenge, becoming a Global Sponsor for 2009, and continues to demonstrate their leadership in enabling developers to push the limits of their creativity.
“The NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge, now in its sixth year, continues to gain momentum as the premier program for bringing together the key LBS players in the wireless industry”
