Vodafone go local…

Two bus stop adverts on the walk to work this morning, it looks like the LBS penny has dropped at Vodafone…

Vodafone LBS adverts, Broughton Road, Edinburgh

One advert is for a service they provide in association with rightmove (a UK property website) to send details of nearby properties for sale to your phone, and the other service is offered by the AA to provide driving directions from your current location to your intended destination.
