Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal has asked executives at Apple, Google, Nokia, Blackberry maker Research in Motion, Skyhook, and Microsoft about how they collect data from private wireless networks to create maps of WiFi service. Citing privacy concerns, Blumenthal wrote in the letter that “attempting to document the locations of personal wireless networks in individuals’ homes without their knowledge or consent raises issues of what constitutes a reasonable expectation of privacy for an ordinary citizen.” This article on Bloomberg.com explains more about the Senator’s issues, as well as other wireless news affecting the big search and smartphone providers.
