One of the most exciting new service areas is Mobile Location Services (MLS). MLS are enhanced wireless service offerings that provide content to a person based on a combination of their registered personal profile and their current or planned location. For instance, MLS offer connections-via web-enabled wireless phones and handheld devices-to emergency services from any location; access to local information such as nearby stores, people, restaurants, and ATMs; and driving directions and traffic information.
