Net neutrality is the principle that all internet traffic should be treated equally [1]. This is an especially appealing idea if you are in the middle of watching the latest episode of your favorite show on Netflix. The neutral state of the internet is what has allowed data heavy streaming services like Netflix to flourish.

As Lawton et al (Lawton, 2001) suggest, this…

still quite new and their accuracy has yet to be consistently demonstrated. Like the Bluetooth solution, WiFi has the advantage of being able to provide a data channel as well as location methodology. WiFi also requires relatively expensive access points in any area where a person or device needs to be tracked. Similarly, any device to be tracked needs the expensive WiFi radio in it. Since WiFi was not designed to determine location, many workarounds need to be developed before it can…
