Nokia's LBS utilized by Microsoft ...

<< How does Nokia make money with Nokia Drive? >>

Beyond the fact that Nokia has licensed Microsoft for the Where platform on smartphones and PCs, I'm not really sure what they have planned. They have not outlined any specific plans on how they plan to monetize the LBS suite and I really don't really expect them to.

<< I don't see advertising on the version we have on our Lumia. >>

Did you expect to? Nokia is not Google -- that is they do not exist on an advertising business model, which does not mean that the ecosystem they are jointly building with Microsoft won't incorporate one, and I expect it will at some point in time.
