At least they have the balls to tell the truth

Ebay and Newegg are entirely optional services we all can live without. Utilities are not. Unless, of course, you suddenly develop psychic powers sufficient so that you no longer need to pick up a phone anymore.

phone service has not changed under this "new" policy. whats new is that they will track & release if requested by the govt your video and browsing habits. last I heard video and browsing are not utitlies.

That's a really breathtaking analysis you've got there because for the past, oh, I dunno, say 75 years or however long the phone company has been in operation, I don't ever recall a time before when consumer records were arbitrarily handed over to any law enforcement agency by utilities or anyone else for that matter without a court warrant or judicial supervision of any kind.

You see, the United States has always had this little thing called the rule of law whereby it has been the policy not to treat citizens like criminals until proven innocent. That's what makes us different from say, China, for example. Or certain Middle Eastern countries where U.S. troops are currently fighting to bring our style "democracy" to them. But that's OK, you weren't using your Bill of Rights civil liberties anyway and you're not in a position of being deployed to Al-Anbar anytime soon. So no worries. Move along, nothing to see here.

I really dont think people see the bigger picture AT&T is buying favors from various gov't agencies to benefit itself and screw the American people. My God how do these execs sleep at night........ Their being allowed to get out of the usf, their putting the old monopoly that was Southwestern Bell back together all with the simple task of turning over their customers private info over to the gov't, sweet deal for them cause most of the general public wont even blink.
