Link that goes directly to the map :P : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/629/629/7600053.stm

And article

I find it interesting, not sure if I fully get it. So this box will be used by hundreds of different companies over the year while travelling all over the world... and these companies don't mind that their goods are being tracked by the BBC? >_>

This is a really cool idea. I love the BBC, they do really great stuff. I wish the US had a something like it, but any interest is a common interest and the BBC really reports pretty much everything of import to anyone and everyone.
