aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same network capability can therefore become part of very different digital services.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight:

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>From Location Information to Location Services<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Network location can be used in different ways depending

is located.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Location Verification \u2192 Verification Result<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The application can determine whether a mobile device is within a specified geographical area.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Geofencing \u2192 Location Event<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The application can receive notifications when a mobile line enters or exits a

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where the broader Network API opportunity begins to emerge.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The network already contains valuable capabilities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The API provides a way to expose those capabilities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The application provides the
