Remember how Google accidentally packet-sniffed millions of Wi-Fi networks as part of Street View photography? It’s been a funny story, to say the least—funny in that public agencies worldwide have taken serious issue with Google’s practices.

As we reported nearly a year ago, the FCC dropped the investigation after fining Google $25,000 for obstructing the investigation. Just after that, a more heavily redacted version (PDF) of the report was released by the FCC on April 15, 2012.

After the FCC report, European regulators said they felt “duped” by what Google revealed as a result of the American investigation.

While all of that was going on, a group of attorneys general at the state level continued to pursue their own investigation into Google’s actions.

On Friday, a number of news agencies reported—via anonymous sources—that Google will settle its case with 30 states to the tune of $7 million.

“Our only comment about Google Street View is the investigation is active and ongoing,” Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen’s spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal. The Constitution State lead the charge against the search giant back in 2010.

The anonymous sources indicated that a formal settlement announcement would come “early next week.”
