TV
I'm going to be on TV news Wednesday night -- on two different stations.
There was a report that Lucas Helder was arrested after his cell phone was tracked (although other press reports simply suggest that FBI agents called him on his cell phone to ask him to surrender). So two TV news programs wanted to know how you track people and what triangulation is. We tried to talk to them about CALEA and E-911; I said there were many ways to track phones and law enforcement could do it in a truck or serve a court order on the cell phone carrier to get its assistance. There were various discussions about targeting ads to cell phones.
One of the reporters thought it was funny when I told her that I didn't own a cell phone or a television (but still gave press interviews about both technologies).
I think the reports will be on KGO 7 and KRON 4 (NTSC analog terrestrial broadcast).
Oh, and keep an eye out for an upcoming issue of BusinessWeek.
