Interesting piece from Jemima Kiss in today's mediaguardian on location-based devices.
My neighbouring council has a very good GIS system which allows you to log on, give your postcode and it will bring together all the info it holds on different database and show you planning applications, roadworks, schools etc.
What about getting that data for your mobile and letting parish councils add their own layers to get every specific information for your locality?
Just over the road are a set of satellite dishes and some tasty military communications technology. It would be nice if some of the R&D that went in to that could be used to power civilian comms devices.
