It seems to be a somewhat local thing though, from what I've seen only some US operators were involved in adding the software, which would explain the lack of mainstream media coverage.

I don't know if they installed CarrierIQ or not, but Verizon Wireless in US was candid and told customers that they track their URLs, search terms, location, app and device feature usage, and interest categories. Customers can opt out at www.vzw.com/myprivacy

That's why original finder used sniffer to reveal it. Maybe it's time for porting properly, fully functional wireshark for N900? I know it can be achieved now, but AFAIk it's not full-featured, and require PITA amount of work to set it up.

Since initially Eckhart claimed that even Nokia and BlackBerry devices contained the so-called tracking software, Nokia quickly jumped to clean its name, stating that none of their devices has ever contained Carrier’s services.
By taking a look at Google’s latest developments, the Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and the original Xoom tablet, it was determined that the software is actually installed by carriers and OEMs since it didn’t come directly with the Android operating system.
Renowned iPhone hacker Chpwn is spreading the word that Apple’s iOS contains references to Carrier IQ as far back as iOS 3.1.3.

If I was trying to hide some spyware activity, that's exactly what I would do - try and hide it amongst normal activity.
