Nokia to build a 3G network in America just for research purposes

This Yahoo article mentions an awesome research application called Point and Find:

Point & Find lets people point a camera phone at an object or picture and find out more about it or buy it just by clicking once when its name comes up on the screen. It works by linking a set of image properties with a URL for information about what’s in the image. When a user points the phone’s camera at something, the system compares what the viewfinder sees with sets of image properties in a database. Also taking into consideration the user’s location, it then delivers useful information about what the user is looking at.

For example, pointing the phone at a movie poster and pressing a key could make a page pop up that offers an ad for the movie and a way to buy a ticket at the theater nearest the user. Pointing the phone at the street might bring up a contact page for a local cab company. The system could give retailers, transit agencies, manufacturers, and others the chance to reach consumers while making it easier and more intuitive for consumers to find things, Nokia said. Point & Find was demonstrated at Mobile Mash-Up but is still under development.

But the main topic is Nokia attempting to launch a 3G network around their Research Campuses in America:
