With the government's mandate coming into effect from May 31, 2012, how long will it take for the Indian market to reach a maturity level for location-based services?
Because the mandate ask for carriers to deploy accurate location technology by May 31, which is days from now, I don't think anybody would be able to meet that deadline. But I can tell you with a high degree of confidence that before the year ends, most large operators will have accurate location technology in most part of their networks here in India. Obviously, that has to happen first as they will need to deploy the technology and then the location-based services. So, by 2013 or 2015, there would be a major commercial push for location-based services here.
