in other words no WAY to monetize to pay back all the hyped investment?

whos going to really pay to use these models and for what ?

Probably why you can’t zoom in very close in their 3d application. some screenshots show that the geometry is like raw lidar apart from a few buildings that look to be manually edited: http://labs.finn.no/blog/sesam-3d-map-3d-revolution-people

i read that the model is build with pictures followed by navigation data. this kind of equipment must be very expensive so i dont expect it to hit our virtual cities anything near what birds eye view did.
but i anticipate soon to come some technology that will join pointcloud (microsoft photosynth) with 3d (like google sketchup does photomatch). it has to happen, right 😉 ?
