It's a wonder to me how no Verizon competitor has jumped at the opportunity to advertise this on a large scale with a message along the lines "it's evil, we don't do that".

If the users really care about this issue, that's what would happen on a functioning market anyway...




I doubt most people care. This isn't going to drive customers away. The only way it'll be stopped is if they're legally forced to. For example, see the history of cookies themselves and how most people never cared about them.


It would if I had options.


It's because the competitors do this too.


Not really. Even AT&T doesn't do this (they did at one point, but were apparently called out on it and stopped doing it), and they're pretty damn scummy.
