What would be great is local traffic details updated real time. Some UK radio stations already ask car drivers to phone in about traffic jams and a povo service could extend that by using a wireless connection for car drivers to report traffic jams. We have awful traffic conditions in the UK, and a local service updated regularly by actual users would be great.
Great commercial aspects by selling the services to TomTom.
