Carrier IQ concerns prompt disclosure bill from Rep. Markey


In response to the controversy over Carrier IQ and its eponymous tracking software, Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) released a discussion draft Monday that would require companies to disclose when they’ve installed monitoring software on a mobile phone, what that software collects and who can read that data.

According to a draft of the Mobile Device Privacy Act, the legislation would also require that companies obtain customer consent before the software can begin collecting or transmitting data. Carriers, manufacturers and operating system makers such as Apple and Google will be required to disclose this software when the customer buys the phone, when software is pushed to the phone, or if a customer downloads an app that contains monitoring software. Any third-party companies that gather the information must also have policies in place to protect the data.

true. He could have had an exit package which included a % of the new company, while giving up his management and bod participation rights.

This guy has been out of the limelight so long he has rust on his brain. Listen I have been long with this stock since December 2010. I have through it all including Anthony Sasso the creater of phoneguard and he is no longer involved due to issues I won't talk about. When Keith St. Claire came on board he basically scraped everything that was done and started over. When Sasso left all there was left was Scott and he was like a bobber in the water. He didn't have a clue on marketing, sales and no connections to anyone. Had he still be in charge instead of Keith we would be in deep, deep crap. Enough said. Go OPMG and Go Illume.

I don't know, if he put the deal together I would think he would maintain the title of CEO. I may be wrong, but my suspicion is St. Clair put the deal together.
