FCC Probing Google Wi-Fi Spy Scandal
Google’s Wi-Fi-sniffing debacle has become the focus of a Federal Communications Commission inquiry, two weeks after another government agency, the Federal Trade Commission, closed its probe without imposing sanctions. The latest development, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, is an FCC examination into whether the Mountain View, California-based media giant breached the Communications Act, and perhaps even the Wiretap Act — which makes it unlawful to intercept data. The agency can exact fines or even recommend the Justice Department file charges.
