UKNM: neatest mobile project I have heard of

[Russell Findlay]

Off topic, but I thought people should know about this one........


Camera Spotter Service to launch.

Project Eagle is the latest legal way to beat the police speedtraps using

all the latest mobile and Internet technology.  The company which is staying

underground at present will be launching a service which alerts drivers who

may need to slow down, because of speed traps, or for other hazards, such as

schools or care homes.  Project Eagle will use sophisticated location based

technology, to determine where their subscribers are relative to speed

cameras and alert them through Instant Messaging type technology, when they

are approaching a hazard.


The service which is optimally introduced when customers adopt GPRS

handsets, which have the advantage of being always on and able to accept

alerts will generate revenue in two ways: subscription revenue from

customers and sponsorship revenue from companies wishing to address the

large motoring community.  They believe that it will act as an add on to

services which will help locate the nearest services and help optimise

drivers' routes.


Marketing is likely to be via Lads Magazines, such as Loaded or FHM and

placements on Granada's Men and Motors Channel, with an expectation from the

company that viral marketing will increase its user base significantly.


When asked if they believed the company would encourage dangerous driving, a

spokesman said that they "believe that it is a service which will make

drivers more conscious of their speed, particularly in areas of high danger,

such as schools and hospitals".  Pre-launch registration and further

information is available by emailing
