While opinions vary on the opportunity for content providers, advertisers, and small local businesses, it&amp;#39;s difficul to argue against the immediacy and relevancy possible that can be delivered to the end user.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s a way for small local business owners to reward their best customers. They can provide special offers, discounts, event invites, news, or anything else their customers might find valuable,&amp;quot; says Matthias Galica, Product Manager for NearU. &amp;quot;In return, the business owner gets the holy grail of marketing: their target consumer&amp;#39;s undivided attention.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The example service is incredibly well done and worked perfectly - &lt;i&gt;even on T-Mobile&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
