| For all you Verizon peepsI love how corporations BS everyone by writing in the smallest 2pt font possible on a 20 page letter that no one will ever read.Found this article on engadget today...
Verizon plans to disseminate your data, unless you 'opt out'Here's one that is sure to get the pro-privacy crowd all riled
up, and rightfully so. Apparently, Verizon is sending out notices to
customers that update them on all the fine print, but if you actually
take a moment to peruse the documentation, you may notice something
you're not exactly kosher with. The carrier is now planning on sharing
its database of CPNI records -- which is defined
as "data collected by telecommunications corporations about a
consumer's telephone calls, including time, data, duration and
destination" -- to outside sources unless you take the initiative to
opt out. The notice claims that users will have to remove themselves
from the process within 30 days of receiving the letter, or else it
"will assume that you give the Verizon Companies the right to share
your CPNI with the authorized companies as described above." We just
can't see this going over well.
The number to call to opt out: 1800-333-9956.
I called, it was quick and easy, just go through the tele-prompt.
The actual letter:
Important Information Regarding Your Customer Agreement

changes in this new Customer Agreement may be minimal. The "Your
Privacy" section, however, has been updated to include information
regarding Customer Proprietary Network Information ("CPNI") as well as
information about how we may include our own or third-party advertising
in the services you've purchased from us. These changes are consistent
with the Verizon Wireless Privacy Principles, which can be found at

the beginning of your next billing period. For information about our
rights to make changes to the agreement, please consult your original
Customer Agreement, or the enclosed Customer Agreement:
