When In Doubt Attack...

I'm not advising anyone to do this but it is what I'm doing:

Attn: Legal Department
Verizon Communications
140 West Street
New York, NY 10007



Dear Sir or Madam:


I am a customer of Verizon Wireless and entered into a Customer Agreement Contract ("Contract") with Verizon Wireless ("Verizon") on

. You are hereby informed that I have reasonable grounds for believing that Verizon Wireless is in material breach of its obligations under the Contract as described in the section entitled "Your Privacy". That is, the section of the Contract entitled "Your Privacy" explicitly recognizes Verizon's duty under federal law to protect the confidentiality of customer information. I have reasonable grounds for believing that Verizon is in material breach of its self-recognized duty to me to protect the confidentiality of my customer information. As such, I request that Verizon provide to me written assurances that Verizon will perform per the terms of the Contract in the future.

Additionally, I request that Verizon provide to me written answers to questions regarding past and present performance per the terms of the Contract by Verizon. The questions are as follows:

1. Does Verizon admit that it is a "telecommunications carrier" as the term "telecommunications carrier" is used in 47 U.S.C. Sec. 222?
2. Does Verizon admit that it has previously recognized a duty to protect customer information under federal law?
3. Does Verizon admit that it has a duty to protect customer information under federal law 47 U.S.C. Sec. 222?
4. How does Verizon interpret the phrase "customer proprietary network information"?
5. Does Verizon admit that it receives or obtains customer proprietary network information by virtue of its provision of a telecommunications service?
6. How does Verizon interpret the phrase " individually identifiable customer proprietary network information "?
7. Does Verizon have any knowledge or record of any request from any source that Verizon use, disclose, or permit access to my individually identifiable customer proprietary network information?
8. Have any government agencies, any government agents, any government employees, any contractors acting on behalf or a government agency, or any other person acting to represent any govenrment interest requested that Verizon use, disclose, or permit access to my individually identifiable customer proprietary network information?
9. Have any government agencies, any government agents, any government employees, any contractors acting on behalf or a government agency, or any other person acting to represent any govenrment interest requested that Verizon use, disclose, or permit access to my individually identifiable customer proprietary network information for purposes other than provisions of the telecommunications service or services necessary to telecommunications service?
10. Have any government agencies, any government agents, any government employees, any contractors acting on behalf or a government agency, or any other person acting to represent any govenrment interestrequested, absent a warrant from the relevant judicial authorities, that Verizon use, disclose, or permit access to my individually identifiable customer proprietary network information for purposes other than provisions of the telecommunications service or services necessary to telecommunications service?

I look forward to receiving an answer, the requested information or an explaination of when I can expect the requested information, within the next thirty (30) business days.


With Utmost Sincerity,
