As all of you are probably more than slightly annoyed about this entire situation i figured i would post the response to my email by verizon.
Boy do they suck and its funny how the woman that answered me sounds just like scotty mcclellan at one point in the response. needless to say i will be dumping all verizon service in the near future. i have crossed out any names on the letter
UPdate:
it seems they are sending out a form letter to all of us complainers
what fuck wads
Dear ----------,
Thank you for contacting the Verizon eCenter. My name is ------, and I will be handling your request today.
This message is in response to your email dated May 11, 2006. You inquired about the article is USA Today and other reports. I will be happy to assist you.
We appreciate that the USA Today article and other reports about the possibility that the NSA is able to analyze local call data records is causing concern. Please be assured that Verizon places the highest value on protecting the privacy of our customers.
Anything to do with the NSA is of course highly classified, so we can not comment on whether or not the news article causing concern is even accurate. But we can say that, to the extent that we cooperate with government authorities, we are confident that we are complying with all applicable statutes. We appreciate the continuing opportunity to provide you with service.
Thank you for using Verizon. We appreciate your business.
Sincerely,
------
Verizon eCenter
