Smarter cell phone privacy protections

[Commentary] It's outrageous that the privacy protections that apply to your landline records do not extend to your cell phone activity. Considering the capabilities of a modern smartphone to track the most intimate details of your life - from your calls and texts to your very movements - a wireless device should have greater consumer privacy safeguards. The California Public Utilities Commission is expected to decide as soon as Dec 5 whether to move toward closing the gaps in privacy rules that were adopted long before cell phones became common.
