AT&T and TeleNav Team Up to Make New York City Cleaner

AT&T and TeleNav, the first company to offer GPS service for mobile phones in the US, join hands to make New York City a cleaner place. With the help of the two companies, the government of the Big Apple has launched the Street Conditions Observation Unit or SCOUT program. Member of the SCOUT program ride through the streets once a month to observe the conditions. Members report the conditions using the TeleNav Track solution installed on their BlackBerry 8800 handsets with enabled GPS on AT&T network. Using TeleNav's Track technology, the SCOUT members can know where their field agent had been and can pinpoint where the exact location of the offense is. Hopefully, the same program would launch in various other places in the future.
