consumers' privacy rights. Instead of the carriers having to
inform customers of tracking software and getting permission,
they should just make tracking software illegal all together.
What happens if all 4 carriers have the software on all of their

and info collecting, or no phone at all. That's what these
greedy companies will do. Ma
