I think that the key take away here is that you cannot - at least if you're fully integrated with your provider's service. If you had unlocked the phone and were using it oo a different network, then you may have some protection. Firmware pushes probably are only initiated by the carrier your device is permanently registered with. You're pretty protected with GSM (generally speaking, having a SIM is enough to register you on the network), but a CDMA or iDen network is going to be difficult - the carrier has to register the IMEI of your device with them before you're even allowed to associate to their network. So they'll know who you are and what the device is. On GSM you can be slightly more anonymous. But using the data services probably blows the lid off that, since more device-specific info is required to push the data. Read the TOS - you're probably agreeing to letting your carrier push whatever software they want to you. It's like the recent Kindle/1984 fiasco - by integrating with their data network so tightly, a whole can of worms is opened where the consumer no longer has complete control of their own device.
