Wonderful link - thanks!

Found this alarmingly prescient piece on the BBC site from 2000:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/874419.stm

'The next generation of mobile phones will make it much easier for the police to carry out covert surveillance of citizens, say civil liberty campaigners.'

Hmm, I wonder how that will play out...
