With many of us driving less, Forbes has some good tips on reducing car insurance costs, but they missed a major one: switching to pay-per-mile insurance. We believe consumers should only pay for the miles they drive, which is why…lnkd.in/eZ_Ekqw lnkd.in/eXPP9CH

Seriously, how much #data is good enough for #UBI?
Is there a role for smartphones in #insurancetelematics?

Diggin' my new follower! Thanks Pattie ~ @pattiediggin
The 2012 Consumer Telematics Show last week (#telematics) was a great place to meet the "players" and hear the latest trends. Bravo!
#Telematics - Consumers should be empowered to leverage technology for safety & savings without others inhibiting the use of their own data.
Last week's announcement by #StateFarm re: In-Drive is an exciting development for #telematics . . . vehicle connectivity for the masses!
The #telematics industry must focus on real and perceived value to consumers to achieve consumer acceptance of #privacy and #data exchanges.
Integrity and true friendship are irreplaceable in business, and heart-felt gratitude is core to real success in life.

Lots of movement within the #telematics world, with exciting things on the horizon. Stay tuned!
Looking forward to #Telematics #Update in Detroit this week. In my session on Thursday, I'll share new aftermarket & OEM revenue models.

Still trying to figure out how to leverage #twitter for #business. Pretty cool so far.
Fatal mistake in #international #business - trusting that English words mean the same from country to country!
Waiting for another flight at another airport. What if airplanes were equipped with #telematics so customers could really know their status?
My take on the Telematics Update event in London: EU #insurance #telematics is overly dependent on costly professionally-installed systems
Back from a short break from #twitter. Sorry about that!
A sunny day in #London, an excellent #telematics conference, and dinner at http://www.LaPorteDesIndes.com . . . what could be better?
TelematicsUpdate event currently in London showing insurers, automakers & tech companies in EU are very interested in #insurance #telematics
