The document included applies to "MCI Communications, Inc. d/b/a Verizon Business Network Services,"
My Verizon iPhone is with "Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless," a separate legal entity.
Do we know that this order actually applies to individuals' phone calls? It seems the document would only apply to enterprise customers.
- detcader 13y agoI mean, the only phone calls ever made are between individuals; but yes, this order only applies to calls involving VBNS phones, not all Verizon phones in general as this article implies and many MSM outlets are saying. That makes it no less scary; VBNS has hundreds of thousands of customers and people who make calls to VBNS phones from unrelated also probably had their metadata sent to the government.
- superuser2 13y agoWouldn't an enterprise's call records be by definition "business records" and not subject to the same protection as the communications of the people? I'd imagine a lot of VBNS customers are already subject to Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulations that require holding onto and turning over business records to interested parties.
