It sounds to me like NHS wants location data logs of everyone in the country.
How are they going to get that with either model being discussed? There is no location data being transmitted. In fact there is no data at all leaving the phone until you get ill. And if they could deduce it from some sophisticated analysis of codes sent and matched, it would be far, far easier from the geolocation data users happily donate to Google/Apple free-of-charge 24/7.

Location is interesting because it reveals the social graph, not the other way around. > In fact there is no data at all leaving the phone until you get ill. Source? Everything I found that could be interpreted as a statement in that direction sounded like it was part of a description of the Apple-Google approach. In particular, I wonder if the APIs exposed to non-system apps let them rotate the Bluetooth identifiers, of if this will cause the phones to beacon their non-randomized Bluetooth equivalent of a MAC address nonstop. (The Apple-Google proposal covered this by randomizing that address too.)
