Man Emails AT&T's CEO, Gets Threatened With C&D Order 306
An anonymous reader writes "After its recent bait and switch, AT&T went ahead and threatened someone emailing the company CEO about customer service concerns, namely with a query about tethering and eligibility rates. The email author also put up a voicemail recording of the company's response and how he managed to contact the CEO in the first place — through The Consumerist." As Engadget notes (as does the complaining customer's updated page), AT&T did at least offer an apology for the threat of legal action, which the company says was unauthorized.

I remember quite clearly that congress said the FTC cannot regulate cable companies because consumers have a choice.
So, clearly you not correct and you have a choice!
Congress told me so :P

It's comments like the one above that convinces me that Comcast is doing more than just port blocking to the packets flowing through their network. Instead of the expected complaints, they inserted a commercial advertisement!

Or if you live in an area like me, it's Comcast cable, or nothing else. There is no choice.
Not true. There's always suicide.
