I can understand that when people are using a free service, they are the product. But mobile contracts are by no mean free. I find that amazing that the TelCos would even contemplate charging their customers and at the same time using them as products.

What are you going to do? Go to a TelCo that doesn't? It's a gamble, but considering the limited alternatives it's not much of one.

It won't take long for alternative phone OS that do not broadcast the location (whether it is compliant with regulations or not). If all the telco can tell is which tower is activated, it will limit a lot their spying capacity.
