 EPIC Letter to Verizon, February 7, 2002
Verizon has failed to provide its customers with adequate notice or to obtain customers’ actual permission before using their “Customer Proprietary Network Information.” Instead, Verizon has sent customers a vague notice and established an unreasonably burdensome opt-out process.
Verizon’s plan is unfair and needlessly jeopardizes the privacy of telephone subscribers.
Given the widespread problems encountered by consumers attempting to opt-out of the Verizon program, and in light of your company’s dedication to protecting customer privacy, we urge you to follow Qwest’s example by suspending this plan and to join us in asking the FCC to establish opt-in as a nationwide standard for telephone privacy.

Verizon executives said the initial set of services will have "cell phone-like quality," because the calls travel over the Internet and are subject to conditions that Verizon can't control that could dim the service quality.
