Lowenstein: The future of LBS is not subscription services

Mark Lowenstein writing at Fierce Wireless is trying to be upbeat about LBS, but really he isn’t. “I am not optimistic that there is a large market for subscription-based LBS.” That said, he does look at the four primary ways in which location services can be monetized as the industry goes forward:

app store (free/paid divided)
LBS as part of advertising/social networks
search
packaging of where user go (for multiple uses)

This is a nice reality check.
