I suggest supporting the Electronic Frontier Foundation if these issue are
important to you. http://www.eff.org/

| Hi Stan,
|
| I've been bothered by this since I read about it on a news blog a
| month
| or so ago. Verizon is selling people's private calling information to
|
| anyone it considers to be a "business partner". Besides being a
| thorough invasion of privacy (isn't AT&T being sued for handing over
| people's calling records to the government?), the opportunities for
| abuse seem breathtaking.
|
| For example, it would allow a company to buy the calling records for a
|
| competitor's sales force. Wouldn't that be a handy way to bring in
| new
| customers?
|
| I'd like to switch away from Verizon Wireless as soon as I can find a
|
| decent alternative. Unfortunately the options are very limited in the
|
| triangle. I left Sprint because their service is very weak from a
| number of locations I visit. AT&T is another one of the few choices,
|
| but they handed over our records to the FBI without blinking.
|
| I think that leaves just T-Mobile. The coverage map on their web site
|
| shows fairly weak service in the triangle. I'd like to find out if
| it's
| better than it looks... Or if T-Mobile has also been making inroads
| on
| the privacy of their customer base.
