HPE PointNext globo boss grilled by El Reg

"so I am talking to the customer about how you enrich the retail store experience with Wi-Fi and location services so that they can provide new experiences to the customers."

Or put another way, we will try sell something even if it's of tenuous benefit with a zero cost benefit analysis. HPE-RIP

Wi-Fi in clothes shops and GDPR comments

True why would you want to use a shops Wifi when most people have 3G / 4G on their phone.

Maybe push female cloths ads to the bored blokes that hang around a clothes shop, while they are waiting for their misses to try on different cloths!

From the comment on GDPR "do I build capabilities and where should my data and storage be?" looks like he doesn't have a clear view either. In my non legal view GDPR is more about what data you can store, control end users have and how your company uses it for personalisation. Maybe their offshore team can and AI chat bots can help with this!

Came, listened, and went away with a smile on their face. Nothing to see here.
