Message-ID: <1b0d006c0912011730i419db6cfia534e9ad5dd6a9d5@mail.gmail.com> Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2009 17:30:33 -0800 From: Ed Carp <erc@...ox.com> To: "Ivan ." <ivanhec@...il.com> Cc: full-disclosure <full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk> Subject: Re: Feds ‘Pinged’ Sprint GPS Data 8 Million Times Over a Year If you read the article, that 8 million figure is the number of samplings, not the number of requests or the number of subscribers monitored. The article says that they can get data every 3 minutes over a 60 day period, which is 28,800 samples. Diving that into 8 million gives you 278 individual subscribers, which is probably much lower than the number of subscribers actually monitored. If you monitor a subscriber for 10 days (a typical number), you get 1667 subscribers monitored, a drop in the bucket of the 48 million subscribers that Sprint claims it has. Nothing to see here, I think ... move along, move along... ;) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
