Big Brother latest: Now your phone can be used to track you down
Picture the scene. You are supposed to be attending a sales conference in Crewe when you are woken from your slumbers by the ring tone from your company-issue mobile phone. 'I'm there now,' you lie to your boss from the comfort of your hotel bed, safe in the knowledge that she will never know otherwise.
But, alas, your mobile phone uses a new technology which means your boss can pinpoint your exact location. You are soon picking up your P45 and handing back the phone.
It is the stuff of slackers' nightmares. But 'location-based tracking' - to use the mobile phone industry's terminology - is about to become reality.
Mobile-phone networks will soon be able to pinpoint the precise location of a handset owner to within 10 metres or less. From the middle of next year many phones will carry Global Satellite Positioning chips, while another new technology, known as 'Triangulation', can pinpoint a mobile-phone user's whereabouts by bouncing signals off three phone masts to establish an exact set of co-ordinates.
The concept has already been warmly embraced by a number of firms. 'It's popular with fleet and logistics firms who want to know where their lorries are,' said Julie Ramage of mobile-phone consultancy Analysys.
But the move has sparked huge controversy among civil liberty groups who fear that mobile-phone companies will be able to play Big Brother.
'It's a very worrying development. The scope for the misuse of this technology is enormous,' said Barry Hugill, spokesman for the civil rights group Liberty.
At the heart of the issue is who should be allowed to track a mobile phone. 'If you have a mobile phone, your network operator must know where you are in order to provide a service. The issue is whether they make that information available to third parties,' Ramage said. 'That information cannot just be used by anybody. People have to sign up to have the information shared.'
Some experts are worried that firms might make it a condition of an employee's job specification that they give their consent for their phone to be tracked.

En gros, ça dit que dans un avenir proche, on pourra savoir où tu te trouve par le biais de ton portable.
Evidemment, ça a des points positifs (si tu es perdue dans le désert, par ex), comme négatif (si tu es recherchée par les flics...)
Cherche un peu : 120 mots pour les points positifs, c'est pas la mort... Et 80 pour les points négatif.
Tu n'as même pas de quoi remplir une page avec 200 mots.... ça peut être vite fait.
