I am betting there are going to be at least 5 cases in the news this year of ex-husbands/wives/lovers/wierdos stalking and attacking people through location based services!

It already happens that people are stalked and this doesn't make it any worse or better.

AS for Nokia making LBS more mainstream, it might be harder to see from the IT side, but they've been pusing for presence type services for sometime now. This is just a next step for them.

I suppose you'd have the option to allow everyone/only certain groups/people to see your location.
