Google, Oceana Link Up in Battle Against Illegal Fishing

A new Google-backed initiative will bend the power of data analysis to track fishing activity on the high seas -- and help single out those doing it illegally. - NBCNEWS.COM

"The plan is that we will build out a public release version that will have near-real-time data,” Jackie Savitz, Oceana’s VP for US oceans, tells Wired. “Then you’ll actually be able to see someone out there fishing within hours to days." - TheVerge.com

I don't think AT&T/Yahoo would have gone forward with such an initiative. It doesn't fit their corporate mission of being evil.
