Hi Carlos,

I disagree.

The answer to *this* question, will tell you why what you said is wrong:

Q: Will Google's WPS database contain a BSSID:GPS pair for an access point
   whose SSID broadcast is set to hidden (i.e., empty or null)?
A: Please answer "yes", or "no".

I know the answer to that question.
You clearly do not.

Once you know the answer to that question, you'll see why what you said, 
is dead wrong.

I could ask the same question of the Mozilla MLS, but it's now defunct, 
but they document this (and we published that documentation elsewhere).

Only Apple ignores the clear privacy intent of setting a hidden SSID.
Nobody else.

Just Apple. (to our knowledge)
