I have to agree. General anonymous data or data collected for diagnostic purposes would be perfectly valid and probably already covered in the operators privacy policies. The question I was trying to raise with this story is whether the entity operators hired to provide that diagnostic data is making an extra buck on the side by reselling that data to others.

True, I am making some assumptions, but I’m mainly trying to ask questions about the full extent of Carrier IQ’s business model. As for the Nielsen deal, you’re right: nothing says Carrier IQ would “sell” data to Nielsen. They’ve termed it an alliance. Nielsen seems to be taking ever precaution to ensure that everyone opts in as well. The point I’m making is Nielsen isn’t a carrier. Carrier IQ is using data it gathered supposedly at the behest of carriers to work with Nielsen’s media measurement service. I they’re working with Nielsen, they could just as easily be working with others.

Look at Apple. You could actually pull up a map online of everywhere you’d ever been with an iPhone, and that didn’t make a dent in iPhone sales.

You’re making a big assumption about the nature of the relationship with Nielsen. There’s nothing in the Nielsen announcement that says that CarrierIQ would sell data to Nielsen, or that CarrierIQ (the company) even has access to any data.
