RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] New Wi-Fi technology will make phones ‘aware’ of their surroundings
Thanks for sharing. My first thought is enormous battery suck and my second thought is I hope there's an easy to find kill switch for the whole thing. -Lee -Original Message- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Trent Hurt Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2015 1:23 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] New Wi-Fi technology will make phones ‘aware’ of their surroundings http://fortune.com/2015/07/14/wi-fi-technology-aware/ Sent from my iPhone ** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.

My first reaction after reading this: Devices will only collect and send information to each other based on permissions the device’s owner has granted. For instance, if you were to configure a social app like Facebook to receive and send proximity notices, then Wi-Fi Aware would only pick the Facebook notices out of constant signal chatter, ignoring messages from all other apps.” was to laugh just a bit to myself. -- Julian Y.
