Re: Sketchy
said by en102  :Exactly. It wasn't part of the terms mentioned as acceptable OR prohibited. Since it wasn't mentioned at all, one would assume that it is ok. while I personally agree with you, the law is
"ignorance is no excuse of the law"
BTW, you know what happens when you ASSUME, don't you?

And even if it were explicitly stated, it would be a "Term of Service," not a law. But I'm splitting hairs. |

When there was no 'law', AT&T essentially allowed it. Typically AT&T and many others tend to blanket cover themselves (i.e. 'anything other than WAP / MMS / SMS covered by MEdia Net is forbidden, such as VoIP, p2p, or anything 'we' deem bad'.
This is something that I would have expected out of AT&T.
