Sprint Turns Carrier IQ Off

Sprint has finally done the right thing confirming they will no longer collect data across its 26 million devices that were tapped.

Sprint says:

We have weighed customer concerns and we have disabled use of the tool so that diagnostic information and data is no longer being collected. We are further evaluating options regarding this diagnostic software as well as Sprint’s diagnostic needs.

So Sprint, does “further evaluating” mean you may change your mind later and turn the switch back on and continue to invade our privacy?
