BERWYN, Penn., and NEW YORK, March 28 /PRNewswire/ -- TruePosition, Inc., a leading provider of wireless location solutions and a subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation (attributed to its Liberty Capital Group), announced today that it is partnering with GPShopper, a leading mobile technology provider, to offer a new location aware shopping service. This partnership combines GPShopper's established mobile product search applications with TruePosition's innovative wireless location platform providing wireless operators with a turnkey solution for offering carrier-branded and white-labeled services to meet local search and mobile shopping needs. By bringing together multiple product inventories, mobile product search capabilities, and the ability to accurately locate mobile phones, TruePosition and GPShopper will transform the shopping experience by enabling consumers to use their mobile phones to easily find products and promotions at local retail stores. This combined service offering will further the value a mobile phone presents to its users, which in turn, will increase data usage and as a result increase ARPU (Average Revenue per User). In addition, it will drive revenue from large corporations with global brands, as well as local retailers looking to access active mobile shoppers. This location aware shopping application is the newest addition to TruePosition's portfolio of consumer-facing Location Based Services. TruePosition offers a full suite of next-generation Location Based Services for the consumer, enterprise, and safety and security markets. "Based on TruePosition's 15 years of developing and deploying wireless location solutions, we designed the engine that will drive location-aware mobile local search and other geo-targeted marketing opportunities," stated Stephen Stuut, CEO of TruePosition, "We are pleased to be working with GPShopper to deliver a high-performance location-based mobile shopping experience."

"Global search revenues are projected to generate US$5.5 billion in 2005 and US$11 billion by 2008," according to Piper Jaffray & Company.
