A report like this could become another track from which privacy respecting companies (against the Govt.) can differentiate them selves from others.
If sonic.net (to pick one from random)consistently keeps touting "Five stars from the EFF for protecting your privacy" then runs ads where they show how poorly their competition are doing, this might sway customers.
Unfortunately this report needs an addendum -
Companies that made the ultimate sacrifice (Shut Down) rather than cooperate with Big Brother - LavaBit, SilentCircle et al.
