Report: Google to Pay $7M to Settle Wi-Spy Case With More Than 30 U.S.
Attorneys General

http://j.mp/14DUBhq  (All Things D)

   "Google will soon settle with the attorneys general representing more
    than 30 U.S. states over its Street View cars collecting data from
    unsecured Wi-Fi networks, multiple sources said.  Google is to pay $7
    million, to be distributed among the attorneys general, according to a
    person familiar with the matter. That person said the agreement is
    close to being finalized, and should be announced early next week."

And if true, that's $7M more than Google should be paying.  Reference:
