Cellular Convergence and the Death of Privacy

Cellular technology has always been a surveillance technology, but “cellular convergence”—the growing trend for all forms of communication to consolidate onto the cellular handset—has dramatically increased the impact of that surveillance. This book explores this unprecedented threat to privacy from three distinct but overlapping perspectives: the technical, the legal, and the social. The book first describes cellular technology and cellular surveillance. It then examines current legislation and Supreme Court jurisprudence that form the framework for discussions about rights in the context of cellular surveillance. Lastly, it addresses the social impact of surveillance on individual users. The story the book tells is one of a technology that is changing the face of politics and economics, but in ways that remain highly uncertain
