Data everywhere
The author's complaint seems to be not that Google collects and uses this data, nor how, but that others aren't permitted to do so.
Put me down for "I trust Google." I completely approve of the transaction of exchanging my position data in return for the services that data sharing enables - with Google only. I don't trust carriers, cable companies nor governments with this data at all, so they can pound sand.
