Re: Yeah....

But it isn't just within Verizon companies. From their legal agreement:

"We may share information about you with affiliates, vendors, and Third Parties to, in addition to the above reasons, deliver relevant advertising to you while using the services..."

The above is from Page8 of the Wireless Agreement for Verizon Wireless.

That press release is full of it.

I haven't read all of the details but I think the USA needs stronger privacy laws along the lines of those in the UK.

The CPNI act is pretty stringent as it is and my feeling is that they would need you to "opt in" (rather than opt out) if the plan was to share your info with third parties not affiliated with VZ.
