Engadget Mobile reports: Sprint Nextel launches "Find It!" location-based search:For $3-a-month, Find It! lets you search for businesses or get driving directions without the need to input your current location
More from Mobiledia and News.com/Reuters.
The mobile carriers have become a bottleneck on highly valuable information (in this case, location information) - information that has the potential to bring the next wave of mobile services to consumers.
Some view the value of this information + distribution channel so highly that they have undertaken the task of becoming a mobile carrier themselves in order to facilitate selling their services.
I sure hope this bottleneck is broken down soon.
