Reminds me of ctOS from Watch_Dogs.

In the game, the fictional Blume Industries sets up a massive, city-wide network, connecting almost everything to the central ctOS supercomputer. One of the ways they build public support for this system is by first providing free wifi to the public in and around Chicago.

I know this isn't perfectly analogous, but wifi networks popping up for ostensibly benevolent purposes and then being used to track people seems close enough to warrant a mention.

How old are you?
I'm not sure if this helps you out, but I'm 33, and it also reminds me of ctOS.
