Subject: Verizon May Have Just Enrolled You in a Data-Collection
Scheme - Here's How to Get Out
The mobile carrier is reportedly gathering customers' contacts, app usage, and
location information.
By Phillip Tracy
Verizon customers who value their privacy should immediately opt-out
of the phone carrier's disturbing new data tracking service.
As reported by Input, "Verizon Custom Experience" is a program being
pitched to users as a way for the company to "personalize our
communications with you, give you more relevant product and service
recommendations, and develop plans, services and offers that are more
appealing to you."

There's more to my concern then just one or two poles in Winslow Arizona.
The FCC has just published its Repor & Order on the subject, and (IMHO)
they make clear that the ordinary folks who paid for the poles by
giving up their rights of way are going to get shafted.
