Dave,

It's good to hear that AT&T (at least this time) isn't blocking  
traffic because of content.

A suggestion for the company's lawyers and PR people: Anytime the  
company feels obliged to take such a step -- which is not a trivial  
matter to the vast majority of users who prefer to make their own  
decisions about what sites to visit and what services to use -- it  
would be well advised to prominently post an explanation at the same  
time. This would help avoid the understandable frenzy of concern about  
the company's actions and motives.
