"By February?" If they were truly serious, they could effect such a change much quicker. Also note that in their blog post, they still defend this practise but are just re-evaluating because people got upset.
A company truly "committed to privacy" would have been insulted by Verizon's header manipulation and not have touched it in the first place.
And, as they have shown that they feel this type of method is OK, then what's to say they're not just making a slicker system behind the scenes? Verizon knows each subscriber->TCP tuple and can easily expose such an API for companies like Turn. Their actions show they are not opposed to such data sharing.
