I think themain reason I asked this was it was when Oregon announce the GPS tracking for cars instead of a gas tax. Now, I think the gas tax is better and should be higher, but people were afraid of the government having access to GPS information of where you've been (not even real-time GPS info). I can see this as being an issue, but it isn't close to what my phone company can do. I carry around a cell phone that broadcasts my exact position in real time(through triangulation). Nobody thinks twice about giving that info to the cell phone companies.
And I've had plenty of debates over who I would rather have as an ISP. And neither are good. The local computer nerd group would be the ideal ISP, but they don't have the resources. The government can be good, if they aren't monitoring it and allowing anonymous access. But, the same can be said for a business, except that they will limit who can get on to paying costumers. I don't deal with any one of them and get it through open wifi ap's.
And it's a tossup for managing natural resources, pollution, and progress.
