Pictometry Ends Relationship with Blom
Earlier this month, and made public on October 22, Pictometry let Blom, its European technology licensee, know it was in breach of its license and ended the relationship. Blom feels the decision is invalid and has taken legal actions; it assures customers that agreements will be honored, no matter the outcome. The nature of the breach has not been made public. One of Blom’s custmers is Microsoft, which uses its imagery for Bird’s Eye Views in Bing Maps. Blom reported its 3rd quarter earnings today.
