The idea with Ultra Wide Band is that it is meant to be always on, much like WiFi or Bluetooth if you choose to have it on listening all the time. So if the user wants to have Ultra Wide Band on all the time are you saying that they should ask the user to provide their location, then just assume that they will never leave their country? How do you detect if they have left the country to a location where Ultra Wide Band is restricted? The wording is right there in the article in the title. "Gathering the approximate location of your Sonos system allows us to auto-populate your registration postal code and predetermine the radio locale for your system so it is configured as soon as you are done setting up your system." You're right, you could do that however in the context of user experience you might choose to remove that from the application such that the user is able to register their devices faster. And if you really only need and use that information during the setup as they said, then what's the problem? With regards to spoofing, if it is correct that they need the locale in order to know whether they can serve that location. And they implement a location check to satisfy that, then if the end user spoofs the location, surely Sonos don't care because they've done their due diligence. If you choose to spoof the location that's a different story, Sonos if they could would provide the service to everyone its the licensing companies that tell where they can. My opinion, if you are required to obtain the location of the user as part of the setup process due to determining the radio locale. And you do so only during the setup process as you have stipulated on your website, then I don't think its that big of a deal. Either way I'd have to provide my location using a drop down menu and for the end user its just one part of the overall setup process that is done for you.
