404 Media: This Company Will Add Phone, AirPod, and Smartwatch Trackers to License Plate Readers
@ai6yr excellent news. can it also send a notification to the most frequently-used phone of that vehicle when one of the other items is missing on a journey so they know where they left their airpods, or is this just the externally-consumed dodgy stalking kind of thing?

I was on The Jeremy Vine Show on BBC Radio 2, speaking about the tech that makes train WiFi work (or not). You can listen to the whole thing via the link below.
At the start of the segment they attempt to speak to travel correspondent Simon Calder live on a train using WiFi only, then I discuss how the technology works and how it may be improved in the near future.
1h 36m into the show for the full segment
1h 41m for just me:
