"The type of handset you own, the fascia you choose for it, the ringtone, even how quickly you answer it are good clues to how you think of yourself."

A crap, second-hand five year old phone with no fascia or ringtone that never rings and is barely used for anything but abusive text messages. This is what I think of myself?

Does no phone = no self opinion then?
Does that mean I don't exist?

They can track mine if they'd like to try - don't know where I left it last.

Not exactly a massive leap in technology is it ? It's already possible to pinpoint the location of a mobile phone that's being used, with the right equipment.

All this is is a commercialisation of that technology, and one which will rely on people buying yet another new phone anyway.

It's not even worthy of any conspiracy theory or even any concern at all, really.

I wonder, how many of those concerned about this, also have a PC with no firewall software or up to date anti-virus software, or simple passwords online ? It'll be a hell of a lot more people than are likely to buy these new phones.

*yawns* If went back and read your own link you'd see that the government's own law currently prevents this technology being used anyway, and that it would take a change to that law to use the technology in this country.

I'm saying it's nothing to be bothered about, and your own rantings are discounted by the very link you've posted !

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Many thanks!!
