It saddens me to see thousands of people wait in line to patronize a corporation that is hostile towards their own customers.

You could have stopped at “corporation,” and I still would have been on board. But yes, the things you point out make this corp especially vile.

Here are my reasons:
#1: Overpriced monthly charges that you pay are used to lobby Congress to erode my civil liberties in the interest of corporate profits
#2: AT&T willfully permitted warrantless NSA wiretaps and tried to silence whistleblowers
#3: AT&T is blatantly attempting to monitor their own customers at the behest of the RIAA and MPAA
#4: Apple sweatshops
#5: Apple executives firing Big Poppa E for writing a poem they didn’t like! (Think different, but only in an approved different way if you work at Apple).
#6: I was an AT&T Wireless customer from 2003-2005 and quit because of declining customer service.

I’m so angry about all of this that I’m seriously considering a personal boycott of all Apple products.

I used AT&T Wireless in the 2001-2004 timeframe and after years of horrible, declining customer service, I switched to T-Mobile.

They became Cingular to “save the company.” Now it’s back to the AT&T name. What a corporate joke.

Honestly, the #1 reason I am not buying an iPhone is AT&T. #2 is that I will not by 1st Generation tech anymore.
