    Might be cause I'm pretty sure Google has ideas about what to do with the data - for their own ends - while I'm more sure the other companies are more intellectually challenged when it comes to that department.

    Having it as a national thing, also makes the companies more liable to be busted if anything goes haywire. At least that's what I tell myself
