Suggested smartmobs.com area: How to Recognize the Future
Title: Flexible cell phone location privacy from Bell Labs (your title
not necessarily the one on the article you are recommending)
Contributed by: MrMysterio (your name or however you'd like to be know and/or optional
personl link)
Body: (you should summarize a bit of the article. you may quote a bit as well if you like and find that will help the readers)
There surely must be times you want to receive special offers for,
say a reduced price on a cup of coffee or a taxi, that could be sent to
you on your cell phone based on your location. But there are also many
times and conditions in which you would like your cell's location to be
invisible.
Bell Labs announced a standard called Privacy-Conscious Personalization
(PCP) framework that would allow a cell phone user, who Bell calls
a consumer, to manage the access that location-based services have to her
cell phone. The implementation of this framework, called Houdini, is
already being used by Lucent in a proto-type phase. The
