        <description><![CDATA[CIQ can use all of the flowery, five dollar words they want...they are spying on users and I do wonder if this activity falls under the auspices of the federal wiretap laws. And for the carriers to make no offer for its customers to opt-out of this activity borders on being criminal. Now it is time to see what, if anything, the carriers do now that the cat is out of the bag.]]></description>

Let's all simultaniously surf to Carrier-iq, call them or e-mail them with our smartphones. Milions of mobile users will generate more data than CarrierIQ can chew.

        <description><![CDATA[I loved Star Trek and their communicators.  Talk to anyone all over the world, and no relay stations, towers, or satellites needed.  But you still needed Uhura to switch the call.I loved Star Trek: The Next Generation communicators.  Tap it, tell it who you want to talk to, and bingo.  But the darn things had locaters built in, and were possible to turn on remotely.  And several episodes had conflicts with those faults built in.Did you ever notice that the only times people didn't immediately respond to a communicator hail was if they were dead, literally tied up, or had deliberately removed the device?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From this page on Carrier' site:http://carrieriq.com/overview/IQInsightExperienceManager/index.htm&quot;With user experience increasingly viewed as the key differentiator between mobile providers, IQ Insight enables you to align your business improvements with the things customers truly value. Identify exactly how your customers interact with services and which ones they use. See which content they consume, even offline. Identify problems in service delivery, including the inability to connect to the service at all. This actionable intelligence enables you to focus on critical quality and customer satisfaction issues.&quot;I like the sentence : &quot;See which content they consume, even offline.&quot;]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Many carriers and smartphone manufacturers have distanced themselves from this mess. Of those who said anything, Apple claimed that any Carrier IQ software will be removed ???completely??? in a ???future software update???. This, of course means that it is on iPhones. Of the carriers, Sprint confirmed it uses Carrier IQ but only to ???analyze our network performance.???]]></description>
