Given the 3-yr. return TA's investors got on their $210M investment, and that this could be just the opening bid for TA they end up winning either way. For TomTom, they are buying an asset that's commoditizing with the likelihood that they will drive away all of the non-GIS revenue currently being provided by TomTom competitors like Mio. If anti-trust regulators were to approve this (50-50 chance), NAVTEQ is the biggest winner with huge pricing power. I think another suitor could emerge with broader reach such as Google/Nokia/Microsoft to push a connected solution across all LBS/navigation verticals.
