Malte Spitz, a German Green politician and privacy activist, has been making headlines about his fight to obtain his 
cell/mobile phone location data, as retained by the telco.

Google translate version of his Wikipedia page:

I assume the original is http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malte_Spitz

For some reason, most of the stories refer to the fact that he made the file publicly available, but don't say where it 
is.  I traced it down to:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0An0YnoiCbFHGdGp3WnJkbE4xWTdDTVV0ZDlQeWZmSXc&hl=en_GB&authkey=COCjw-kG#gid=0

(I was using Google Translate at the time, so there may be something in the URL relating to translation efforts, but 
the spreadsheet itself is in German.)
