Poll: Would you switch telecom providers for privacy?

By now it's established fact that your cell-service provider keeps a log of where you are and what you say, 24 hours a day, and this information will probably be retained by the NSA for a long time.

Some think we're getting dangerously close to 1984. If, say, Sprint were to start a campaign with slogans like "We don't spy on you", would that entice you to switch to such a provider?
