Do we have a clear understanding of what these "privacy restrictions" are? I mean, if a subscriber can access exactly this information through a web page (and see this in real time), why would there be some different privacy criteria when doing the exact same thing with the phone (except over JSON)? That seems extremely bogus to me.

What am I missing?
