RE: Mobile Location Based Service user privacy (commercial issue)

Hello,

I have some comments reflecting my personal opinion on that topic:

I think, there will never be any possibility to prevent this. Once, somebody
does know an information, he will be able to share it with everybody (at
least by other communication paths like personal speech).

In my opinion, a PUSH model will not be sufficient since every time,
somebody wants to know your location, you must push your location to him (and click
on your device; at least if you do not have stored a profile for the
requestor).

So I think, we should also consider a PULL model for being universal and
considering all possibilities. Therefore, we should search for meanss to protect
access to location information for that purpose.
