The newest AT&T Terms of Service has an interesting new clause, which is the BEST argument for Net Neutrality that’s come down the pike yet. They will SHUT OFF your service if you badmouth AT&T. This is the applicable clause, and pay attention to c:
5.1 Suspension/Termination. Your Service may be suspended or terminated if your […]
Cubic Telecomm is a bright new startup with an incredible deal for people who travel– a cellphone that doesn’t cost you your firstborn to make international calls. They’re launching their product next month. According to the article in the NYTimes:
Verizon charges $1.50 a minute for calls to most countries. AT&T’s rates can be truly Dr. […]
Last month AT&T censored Pearl Jam on their website when an anti-Bush statement was made. This is the same AT&T that helped the NSA illegally tap our phones. This week Verizon blocked text messages from the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) on their Cellphone network. Verizon also allowed the NSA to illegally tap our […]
What the HELL are they thinking? The MAJOR PROBLEMS that were exhibited at Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and most recently in Japan at Kashiwazaki Kariwa are not going away, but with the BLESSING OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION (why should this not surprise us?) additions to a Nuclear Power Plant have been applied for, and more […]

And after reading all the different commentaries, blogposts, and such that came out of this, I’m amazed at […]
So now Keisler, former AT&T Legal Hatchetman, is now head of DOJ? The blog, Next Hurrah, has entitled this event The United States of AT&T. I’ve gotta wonder how this move will affect the upcoming FCC Spectrum Auction, now that the Bush Administration has GIVEN our legal system to the Telecomms. I also doubt highly […]
With all the hoohaw in the Mainstream Media about Britney’s Gut and her being washed out at the ripe old age of, what is it? 25??? it’s made me think a lot about what Mainstream Media is doing to All Women. The white male owned and white male run mainstream media is trivializing us bigtime.
