Well, the lawsuits don't mean too much yet. We will see how far they go, and what they reveal.
If USA Today has evidence, why don't they produce it? They were asked to retract the story and may be sued by Bellsouth.
I certainly won't trust the media's word on anything these days.
It doesn't even make sense to collect everbody's calling records anyway. You'd be wading through 99.9% useless data.
It makes a lot more sense to monitor calling patterns anonymously and only ask about getting the records when you see a pattern of calls that is suspicious.
How would they monitor call patterns w/o the records?
