I'm so glad something is being done to protect 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 phones? Then you have the choice of taking a phone with tracking and info collecting, or no phone at all. That's what these greedy companies will do. Make it illegal to collect any data from a consumer at all.
