Mashups for the Business Crowd

Here’s a mashup we like. If you own 25,000 kilometers of fiber network running through twelve European countries, obviously you’ll mash up the AutoCad design data with the GPS grid (tricky), and then you’re ready to expose it through a map display system like Google Earth (easy).

Global Crossing - a company we like, with the world’s first integrated global IP-based network - has done such a thing as a visual aid for its customers. Everybody is pleased:

Our fibre customers are pleased: Not only can they trace the exact location of their network, but their families can also see where daddy or mommy will be for their provisioning or system commissioning activities, and they can check out nearby tourist sites using tools like Panoramio (acquired by Google last month). - Google Earth Network Route Imaging
