Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

It typically cost about 5 cents to access Iowa phone companies - Cingular charges 10 cents per minute that is keystone mark-up 100%

It is unfair for hint as if they are losing money - Cingular makes money on all of the Free Conference Call services like freeconferencecall.com.

It is unfair for AT&T to stop paying access because they SAY it is costing them millions - what they didn't say was how much they are charging for access. It is unfair collect and not pay.

It is unfair for AT&T to sue these companie in courts that do not have jurisdiction just to cut off these companies cash flow.

It is unfair for Cingular to block calls - it is illegal.

Why don't they take it infront of the FCC who has decides these issues - probably because they already have and AT&T does not like how they ruled.

So who is next -who does AT&T pick on next - some of these companies have already gone out of business. You can't demonize small companies just because they make profit - what they are doing is perfectly legal and AT&T should not be able to drive them out of business because they disagree with the way the company does business.
