Google is close to reaching a settlement with more than 30 US states that had accused the search giant of using its Street View cars to collect data from unsecured Wi-Fi networks. The company is to pay about $7m in total, according to sources familiar with the case.
The agreement, which was first revealed by tech blog All Things D, is close to being finalised and should be announced early next week. The sum would be tiny for Google, which had $50bn in revenues last year.
