Verizon Communications Inc vowed to issue semi-annual reports on government requests for customer data, drawing praise from privacy advocates who sought such changes and marking the latest reform to controversial surveillance practices. This would be the first time that Verizon will publish such reports that would be easily accessible to shareholders. New York-based Verizon, the second-largest U.S. telephone company by revenue, announced the move on Thursday following pressure from activist investors concerned about the role of network operators in government spying operations. Last month, the investors pushed Verizon and AT&T Inc to disclose details on their sharing of customer information with government agencies.
