Ah. I have a terrible memory for details. Yes, that's the announcemnt
I was thinking about.
What I meant with 'suddenly starting to sell that data' is selling
where YOU are (i.e. personally identifiable data).
What vodafone is selling is properly anonmized(sp?) data. At least
that's what they say in the annoucement I read......

Does it sit on the couch all day? Is it unemployed? Please be specific!
Define 'it' and what it isn't doing. --------- Adapted from lxrbot FAQ
