I only get results of business were I am at that exact location. Privacy is something that is never truly true, as there are humans behind the policies who were not involved in writing the policies.

Privacy is something that is never truly true, as there are humans behind the policies who were not involved in writing the policies.

Really? Really? Are we incapable of using proper grammar anymore? I mean seriously, the only reason I clicked the link to open this article was to point out the horrendous misuse of the English language. It's sad to see news media falling victim to such editorial mishaps as bad grammar, punctuation, spelling, and whatever else. Granted, this may not be an actual "news post", but rather a blog entry -- I'm not sure -- but at least make an effort. Speak right, write right. You learn something for a reason (i.e. grammar, spelling, and other typical 1st-12th grade english class topics). If you didn't pick any tips up in school, maybe rethink your profession. “Google knows where you at”? Really? Really? Are we incapable of using proper grammar anymore?

This info has been used by third party affiliate companies for a couple of years now (maybe longer, I'm only familiar with it being available as of about 2 years ago). They have been trying to come up with ways to use the data in a way that does not alienate the cell provider's customers and it looks like they are finally giving it a try. The GPS/CellID is not new.

That's a pretty big task in itself and it opens up a lot of opportunity. So they’ve convinced cell carriers to let them grab the user’s location?
