===Introduction===
In this scenario, the usage of location based services is low and the variety of location based services offered is also low. Location based services are therefore not very popular or widespread. We will now take a look at the events that have led to this situation and the forces that were driving this development. The following unordered driving forces have all contributed to the occurence of this scenario:


* [[Fossil fuel consumption]]
* [[Oil price]]
* Interest of users
* [[Health impact of mobile and wireless devices]]
* Quality of LBS information
* [[Increasing Mobility]]
* [[Growing privacy and security concerns]]
* [[War on terror]]
* Regulations and telecom privacy
* Advanced high tech mobile devices
===Current situation(2011)===
Location based services using satellite systems are limited to the military. Limited location based services are available using wireless technology and technology advanced mobile phones.
Satellite systems in China, the US, Europe and Russia are controlled by governments while wireless infrastructure is controlled by industries.
Terrorism is widespread. The war on terror has been reduced to a fight between Western and Middle East countries. This is mainly due to the escalated oil crisis and the ensuing fight for control.
Privacy of the individual is no longer possible. Laws similar to the Patriot Act have been passed and individuals can be tracked without their prior consent.
