F-Mobile

A pox on T-Mobile for allegedly selling the personal details of thousands of customers to rival companies, in my opinion. Henceforth they should be known as F-Mobile, I reckon. ?F? as in fail - both the standards and responsibilities required under the Data Protection Act and its otherwise innocent, unsuspecting customers.

I hope Christopher Graham and his staff at the ICO act swiftly and diligently in preparing a prosecution. As I?ve mentioned repeatedly on this blog, the shoddy data practices of T-Mobile and their ilk really need to be stopped once and for all.

Now onto other, nicer, news?

Forgive me, but I?d like to indulge in a spot of company self-promotion. Don?t forget to visit www.rememberingyouthischristmas.com* to send a message to the stars in remembrance of someone you love. Messages will be beamed into outer space at precisely 1.00am (GMT) on Christmas Day by Deep Space Communications Network based in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The Bereavement Register? can?t promise you?ll receive a reply, but if anyone does return your deep space call, we?ll let you know. More importantly, our hope is that the simple act of remembering and sharing our feelings might just make this Christmas a little happier for everyone this year.

* All messages must be received by 12 midnight on 20th December to give us time to prepare for transmission into space on Christmas Day.
