Serious question. (This is separate from the ISPs that are making a PR effort to appear like they respect privacy now. Theyre lying, of course, but at least there are places to go like DuckDuckGo that do act like this isnt East Germany, circa 1978.) I really dont want to use a company that refuses to respect my privacy - ever. (And theyre even arrogant about their refusal.) AT&T and Verizon, along with their pals in the security sector of the government have made a mockery of the 4th Amendment and privacy in general. Makes me ill.
So, are there any telecom companies that are doing the right thing?

Does Sprint turn our information over?
[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Not so sure about Sprint, whose network they use, but at least I know part of my bill is serving progressive causes through Credo.
On Edit: A quick search for "Sprint, NSA" reveals articles claiming that Sprint cooperates with NSA surveillance, too. Actually, I think we'd be hard pressed to find a telecom that doesn't. In the meantime, again, I'm still happy to know that my Credo bill helps fight the good fight.
