Minor nitpick, selling the data probably isn't a service. It would be an action taken to help support the actual service via better monetization.

"our Services" isn't to the consumer but to the entity purchasing the location information.
That makes sense, I'd assumed it was specific to the service the consumer was using that prompted them to agree.
It is a lie a sense, it meant to deceive and give plausible deniability for the telco to do literally anything they want.

In that regard, the whole thing can be thrown out as <fancy word for> trickery.

Data streams can absolutely be provided as a service.
