After the adoption of database for surveillance (Promis case), the use of search engines and Networks of networks for monitoring of citizen exchanges (Echelon case), now there's the commodification of wireless technologies such as WiFi for monitoring purposes.

Combine that with the vigilante practice of online-monitoring that we witnessed with the mexican/texan border and you get a perfect glimpse on the transition from BigBrother to AnyBrother: anybody is going to be the narc or zealot... A nice shot of community based society. Orwell would not even believe his own eyes.
