It's disturbing how much this information is sold and resold:

* Securus purchased the location data from 3Cinteractive Corporation, which was located in Boca Raton, Florida.

* 3Cinteractive Corporation, in turn, purchased such data from Technocom Corporation (doing business as LocationSmart), which was located in Carlsbad, California.

* Technocom Corporation (doing business as LocationSmart) purchased this data directly from telecommunications services providers.

* This capability enabled Securus’s registered users to obtain the location data entered in the LBS platform, or, in other words, to ascertain the approximate physical location of a particular cellular telephone on demand.
