ehaggis writes "The Washington Post reports AT&T and Verizon will not track customers' internet behavior unless given explicit permission.

"'Verizon believes that before a company captures certain Internet-usage data . . . it should obtain meaningful, affirmative consent from consumers,' said Thomas J. Tauke, Verizon executive vice president."
