Podcast: TomTom to Snap up Tele Atlas: Monopoly or Better Data?


by Joe Francica and Adena Schutzberg
July 23, 2007

This week Joe Francica and Adena Schutzberg explore Monday's announcement of the planned acquisition. Will regulators let it through? Will the combination of TomTom's Mapshare and Tele Atlas' prowess at maintaining spatial databases mean better data delivered in more timely fashion? What will investors receive? And, how are geospatial professionals impacted?

The podcast is 18 minutes long and was recorded on July 23, 2007.
