Is anyone seeing reports involving hard data on how to strategically handle the impact from this change , or is it still too early to make any calls?

More sites will be chasing the top three positions and aggregators of data ( directories and affiliates ) will find it harder to rank against business owners. Google appears to be moving towards superceding these with control over the data from their own sources.
