U.S. FCC Investigating Google StreetView Wi-Fi Data Collection

Yesterday Slashdot discussed a story named FCC Investigating Google Street View Wi-Fi Data Collection.

Their summary: "The Federal Communications Commission is looking into whether Google's Street View Wi-Fi data collection violated the Communications Act. At issue is a May admission from Google that equipment attached to its Street View cars collected data that was traveling over unencrypted Wi-Fi networks, known as payload data. At first Google said it did not know if that data included personally identifiable information, but the company admitted last month that it did include entire e-mail addresses, URLs, and passwords. Google has pledged to work with the FCC."

Comment on Google in Catch-22 Over Wi-Fi Data and Privacy by EU Could Turn Google, Facebook Into Privacy Felons: Tech News «

[...] The recommendations were made in a paper presented by the European Union’s executive body, which is responsible for proposing legislation and enacting standards for the EU and consists of a cabinet with 27 commissioners, one from every member state. The European community has been fairly hard-nosed on privacy as it applies to services like Facebook and Google’s Street View, which has been criticized for a number of reasons, and faced potential restrictions from European states even before the company admitted that its Street View cars were inadvertently capturing personal data.

Comment on Wi-Fi Looks to Keep the Mobile Internet Dream Alive by tom

i understand the benefits of wifi at my home, workplace, etc. and also can see why cable companies might want to offer city wide wifi as an incentive for customers. but is does it really make more sense for the carriers such as AT&T; or verizon to use WIFI instead of deploying picocells, mircocells or whatever is the latest fad in tiny cellular towers? it would certainly keep things a lot simpler for their customers. as smartphones become more commonplace the customers will be less sophisticated and many may not even understand how the wifi capability on there phones work. also with the proliferation of MIFI devices and tethering becoming more common a lot of wifi connections are going to loop back onto the cell networks anyways.
