As it turns out, new Verizon customers (although there are reports existing customers are getting notified too) have 30 days to opt out of something really nasty: Verizon will sell your browsing history and location history to marketers [https://alpha.app.net/bryanjclark/post/843872]. Apparently, AT&T does something similar [http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4633760]. Doesn't matter what phone - iOS, Android, anything. Incredibly scummy and nasty. I quickly checked my own Dutch T-Mobile terms, and they don't seem to be doing this.
