• …the Carrier IQ software secretly installed on millions of mobile phones reports most everything a user does on a phone.
• …the software is installed on most modern Android, BlackBerry and Nokia phones
• …and decide to just use Wi-Fi, your device still reports to Carrier IQ.
• …the data — including the content of  text messages — is sent to Carrier IQ’s servers, in secret
• It’s not even clear what privacy policy covers this. Is it Carrier IQ’s, your carrier’s or your phone manufacturer’s? And, perhaps, most important, is sending your communications to Carrier IQ a violation of the federal government’s ban on wiretapping?
