Re:iOS 8 randomises the MAC address while scanning for WiFi ... by chimeracoder on Sunday June 08, 2014 @04:25PM (#7865784)
Nomi[0] is one startup that does this, tracking locations of customers across participating stores without customers' consent.

It's opt-out for consumers, and in order to opt-out, you must register your MAC address with them[1][2].

I really hope that cycling MAC addresses becomes easier on mobile devices, if not automatic.

[2] Assuming you even know that this service exists (which most consumers don't, because why would the store owner tell them that they're doing this?)
