Big Blue ==> Big Brother
Big Blue (IBM) is rapidly becoming Big Brother with its latest foray into traffic encorcement in the United Arab Emirates. IBM was awarded a $125 million contract to install GPS based vehicle tracking systems in cars in the UAE. GPS data will be used to determine what the appropriate speed limit is for the vehicle’s location, and if the driver ignores a warning to slow down, the incriminating data will be transmitted via GSM/GPRS to a central location for issuing a ticket to the driver.
