Verizon Transparency Report: Govt Requests Increasing

Gunkerty Jeb writes "After months of public calls from privacy advocates and security experts, Verizon on Wednesday released its first transparency report, revealing that it received more than 164,000 subpoenas and between 1,000 - 2,000 National Security Letters in 2013. The report, which covers Verizon's landline, Internet and wireless services, shows that the company also received 36,000 warrants, most of which requested location or stored content data."

Maybe Verizon signed up 1.7 million new subscribers in the USA in the 4th quarter of 2013, but certainly Verizon has more than 1.7 million wireless customers. The market of wireless customers is in excess of 100 million in the USA and there are a very small pool of wireless providers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile).
