Based on my research, CarrierIQ implements a potentially valuable service designed to help improve user experience on cellular networks. However, I want to make it clear that just because I do not see any evidence of evil intentions does not mean that what’s happening here is necessarily right. I believe the following points need to be addressed. Note that most of the burden in this situation falls not on CarrierIQ but on the handset manufacturers and carriers, who are ultimately responsible for both collecting this information and establishing service agreements with consumers.
1. Consumers need to be able to opt out of any sort of data collection. This option would need to be provided by carriers and handset manufacturers.
2. There needs to be more transparency on the part of carriers in terms of what data is being collected from users.
3. There needs to be third-party oversight on what data is collected to prevent abuse.
