. . . I would promise to NOT sell or share my customers email addresses. And hew to it. But, I could harvest all email addresses that they (customers) send-to and all email addresses that send to them. And the "CC"s. That ISP would have a big pile of live addresses to sell. Jeez though. That does seem pretty rotten. Maybe I would only sell them to advertisers that "promise" to get OPT-in type permission before using.
Please read the original BBS article. Monitoring won't be happening with this. GPS receivers don't have transmit capability. The phrase "allow satellites to monitor" was incorrectly introduced by the article submitter. Though, in fairness to the submitter, the BBS figure showed the GPS "communicating" with the satellite.
I live in Forest Lake. The FL Zip? 55025. My Zip? 55073. Yep, Scandia delivers my mail.
A friend used to live in St. Paul, West side. West side Zip? 55107. His Zip? 55118. Yep, West St. Paul delivers on Annapolis Ave.
Stick the wrong zip on my mail and it gets delayed by a few days.
The USPS database holds all of these special cases. From the USPS verbage on their 5 digit zip product:
"Five-Digit ZIP Product contains 5-digit ZIP codes and detailed, ranged street data only for cities with more than one delivery ZIP Code (i.e., multi-coded cities). . . . "

There is some grey area here.
Would you allow all of these practices that one religion or another allows?
Smoking marajuana. Taking peyote. Multiple wifes. Not serving in the military. Refusing medical aid to children.
More contentiously:
Slavery, female circumcision, beating ones wife, forced sex against wife's will, beating children, killing witches.
My point is that there needs to be some balance between what religion allows and the broader society's sense of what is right and wrong.
Guess I'll visit the BSD merger story.
How unexpected.

It is more complicated than you think.
