Mobile Proximity and Location Based Advertising within Reach

Mobile location advertising has been discussed and executed for more than
a decade since the hey day of the ecommerce boom. Companies engaged in
the discourse then included E*Trade, Gap, Exxon, NTT DoCoMo, Dentsu, Active
Sky, SmartRotuaari, and many, many more. Japan, Korea, Finland, and Belgium
took the lead in commer-cial deployment, while United States advanced in
incremental pilot testing.
