caught this over at Boing Boing and it is really something to think about.
Apple’s iPhone already has its first controversy. Why is AT&T the exclusive wireless carrier for the iPhone?
As it stands now, Act for Change sees iPhone users locked into a service contract with “a corporation whose practices seem to run counter to everything Apple stands for.” Their announcement included complaints directed specifically towards AT&T — including AT&T’s “warrantless wiretapping” controversy and their sharing of customer phone records with the National Security Agency.
The group even cited the chairman’s political contributions of AT&T’s chairman, and called it “the same AT&T that is doing its very best to destroy net neutrality and create a ‘slow lane’ Internet for the rest of us.”
You know, it’s interesting how we have all forgotten about how AT&T is part of the Warrantless Wiretapping fiasco….
