| Mobile Minute: The Mobile Minute is sponsored by SpiderCloud Wireless. Conversations on Vodafone’s mobile network are routinely listened to by government agencies, according to a report out today from The Guardian. The European telecom giant decided to speak out because it wanted people to understand the extent of government surveillance. It says that in six countries governments routinely attached wires to its networks in order to listen to conversations and track the locations of certain individuals. Vodafone is not sharing the names of these countries in order to protect its employees there. But the company is publishing a 40,000 word report on government surveillance today. In other news, Amazon is teasing a new mobile device, and Barnes & Noble has teamed up with Samsung on its newest eReader. For more on that see today’s video below. |
