Our good coverage is in part due to analysis by the likes of Ericsson on user movements/density. Make the laws harsher on storing location data and we could see a drop in network quality down the road.

Having worked as an employee (not contractor) for 3 of the 4 major Irish cell companies I know that data like this is heavily protected internally (I never saw any subscriber location information). There are data protection laws already in place to stop this information leaking.

Why do you want to limit the information a company can keep on its users? Are you a fan of this new EU cookie directive?
