AT&T Data Selling Program
AT&T is planning to cash in on the large amount of data it collects from its subscribers every month. The company said this week that it is looking to follow in the footsteps of Google, Facebook and Verizon, and begin selling information about its customers to other businesses. AT&T says it's considering selling its customers' wireless and Wi-Fi locations, U-verse usage, website browsing habits, mobile app usage and "other information." The carrier notes that the data will be anonymous and in some cases will group together with other subscribers, which it says will protect a customer's privacy. Those who aren't fond of AT&T selling their information, however, will have the opportunity to opt out of the program. AT&T didn't reveal when the data selling program will go into effect.aO-RAmH-w0o
