Cell tower based contact tracking is already used to infer someone's social graph and pattern-of-life. Bluetooth association data - even with opaque tokens - can easily be correlated with cell tower movement to refine CO-TRAVELER style analysis.
Cell-tower-resolution analysis is already very powerful - it can trivially reveal someone's associations and overall behavior. When correlated with short-range proximity data, I suspect the same analysis might reveal behavioral details within a organization ("which meetings you attend" instead of merely "what address you work at").
