Verizon follows the money


Another cell phone outrage

Nothing like changing the rules in the middle of the game.

Last week, it was revealed that Verizon Wireless is mailing a notice advising wireless subscribers that if they fail to Opt Out within 30 days, Verizon will begin SELLING their Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) to “third parties and affiliates”.

CPNI information includes all the calls you place or receive on your cell phone (along with date, time and call duration). Verizon intends to allow “targeted ads” created by their affiliates sent to your phone.

You know, if this information is so profitable for Verizon, don't you think the people who supplied the information in the first place ought to be paid for it? How about the price that Verizon charges, plus twenty percent?
