Sprint already remotely installs apps on their Android phones. Had one install right in front of my eyes. I could uninstall it, but it would be back. Can't disable it either, which sucks.
... Is that even legal? Wow.
It's not like you own the phone, read those contracts!

What do you mean read the contracts? Does anybody actually read them before signing their soul away for 2 years?

I did before signing up with Sprint all those years ago. I proudly sport my tinfoil hat for reasons, ever if you all think I'm nuts

We T-Mobile users laugh at your plebeians and your contracts and compromised phones.

If Verizon starts installing stuff on my phone I'll root it faster than you can say Supercalifragilisticexpialodocious. (It takes me longer to root my phone right now, cause I just upgraded to a Pixel XL after my Note 4 fell off my holster and became a brick).

That's why I switched to Ting. T-Mobile makes a lot more sense when you're traipsing around the world.
Also... shameless plug time...
You get $25 credit to service or a new phone (you can bring your own phone) by using someone's referral code https://z6q0sjd201.ting.com/ -
As long as this thread is here (unless of course I need to create a new thread), we are using ZeroTier for SDN, I'd assume that we would still need a VPN and if so, what would you guys recommend?
We have a few tinfoil hat people here who don't do anything on their computer but teach. Although, I'd imagine searching for things related to teaching happens quite a bit.

These MVNO companies only exist because the government mandates that the companies that actually build the networks have to resell the service to them.

Well ZT is a VPN, but a VPN alone is not enough. You don't need "another" VPN, but you need something that handles what they want and ZT might not do it alone, but certainly can with the right configuration.

Yes, I know this, and realize it could be the sliding slope that DSL has become. It's a risk I'm willing to take for a $30/month bill.

Quiet honestly it looks like there is a market for an ISP that will promise not to sell your data.

Comcast has promised.
