I'm curious about which carriers. Are we just talking about US carriers or carriers worldwide? I'd think "Carrier IQ" wouldn't fly under stricter European privacy laws (even if it is OK in the US, which some people say is an open question). Is that right?

Absolutely. That was the very question I thought of as I posted that. I have a suspicion it's US carriers.

How does that work with the iPhone, I wonder? Android phones have custom firmwares for each carrier, but I thought that everyone downloaded the same update package in iTunes. Am I wrong?

Well, I don't know which carriers have installed CarrierIQ on their phones, but according to this: http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/1/2602532/verizon-carrier-iq-denial http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/1/2602532/verizon-carrier-iq... Verizon denies using or ever having used CarrierIQ.
