A new study finds that better wireless networks, devices and operating systems are creating market conditions for in-vehicle telematic systems to flourish across the globe.

In-vehicle telematic use will grow eight-fold into the next decade with revenues for subscribers reaching nearly $20 billion in the U.S., Europe and Japan, according to “Telematics 2007 and Beyond: The New Era of Networks and Applications,” by Lynnette Luna, a consultant with Visant Strategies.
