Yesterday, we reported that Uber had came under fire from the Division of Standards of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, receiving a cease and desist letter that sought to shut down its operations in the Greater Boston area. The issue has since been resolved, with an amended decision saying Uber was "not out of compliance with state law" and free to continue operating.At the heart of the dispute is Uber's use of GPS location technology to pick up riders and determine appropriate fares. The Standards Division initially ruled that since the National Institute of Standards and Technology didn't have guidelines in place for GPS, that Uber couldn't use the technology for its car service.
