- >Boycott AT&T, don't use the phone. ;-)
- Actually, it's a lot easier than that. Switch long distance
- carriers, and then give AT&T a call and tell them why (or write them a
- letter). AT&T makes virtually *no* money on licensing compared to
- what it makes on phone services. A boycott of AT&T phone services
- would probably be taken very seriously; you need only watch TV to see
- how seriously.
-
- Of course, it would take a lot of people complaining to make an
- impression...
