AT&T, the darkest phoenix.

Mutha Bell is about to take its biggest step towards resurrecting their monopoly, and will get control of the Internet on top. And the government? They won't give a dead rat's ash about it, as long as Mutha Bell keeps your private data open for them. What I don't see is how much "nice" $$$$$ was involved to get the Democrats to "change their minds."

Why is the Consumers Union drinking the kool-aid like George Ou? An enormous improvement, as long as you're AT&T. Screw the "consumer." And where's that judge [url=http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1035_22-6139838.html]who refuses to rubber-stamp this "deal?"[/url] He's supposed to give the OK as long as the assimilation was in the public's interest... yeah, like it really would be in the public's interest.

Given Mutha Bell's past as a telco desperate to reclaim its past glory at the expense of the Internet's freedom, the only way I'd trust AT&T is if Mr. Whitacre was dragged under a bus.
