Telmap may cut some Navteq business
Publish Date: 18 May 2010
Paris, France: Telmap may swap some of its business with Nokia Oyj's digital map maker Navteq for rival maps suppliers like TomTom NV's Tele Atlas, said Oren Nissim, CEO of Telmap at the Reuters Global Technology Summit in Paris.
Nissim said that he was reviewing its relationship with Navteq, its key map data supplier, in the light of the latter's USD 8 billion acquisition by Nokia. "We are looking at our relationship with Navteq. We probably will make some changes," Nissim said, hinting at a move to Tele Atlas which is the only competitive alternative in the digital map market.
