This long-ish post pull together the announcements from the consumer sphere that may relate to geotechnology, or that you shouldn’t miss.
Bottom line themes: more connectedness, convergence and location data. Big geo news? None really. Big device news? Palm’s Pre.

With the new year five days old and economic challenges expected for every sector we explore four big challenges and opportunities for those in geospatial technology. We explore four of them: (1) how U.S. investment in infrastructure may propel geotechnologies, (2) marketing of geotechnologies in tough times (3) the growth/contraction of location-based services, and (4) the renewed interest in “openness.”

The Geospatial Information Technology Association (GITA) is launching a white paper series, the first of which is titled, "Infrastructure Interdependencies." Bob Samborski, executive director of GITA, says the series is intended to look at the variety of infrastructure elements that are interdependent. The white paper series is indicative of a renewed interest in the crumbling and exposed infrastructure in the United States and how geospatial technology can not only help to support revitalization but point to areas where it might be exposed to terrorism or natural disasters. From the white paper introduction:
"This paper, Infrastructure Interdependencies, is the first in a special White Paper Series entitled, The Geospatial Dimensions of Critical Infrastructure and Emergency Response. It is intended to provide geospatial practitioners with a summary of critical infrastructure interdependencies, reasons why understanding these relationships is vital to effective emergency response, and the important role geospatial technology, data and knowledge can play in addressing our infrastructure-related challenges."
The entire white paper can be downloaded from the Directions Magazine website.
