Why I hate AT&T

For anyone that has had this conversation with me, they know my feelings toward AT&T. Certain "uneducated" consumers try to make the argument that AT&T has good wireless coverage in their area, and either my complaints are because I get dropped calls or that I'm joining a "bandwagon." Neither of these are the case, I simply don't like AT&T because of their sketchy past.

I won't go into much detail, because I feel that YOU should do some research, and stop relying on others to tell you everything. I came across one person who goes by the handle "empowermac" on YouTube who refused to believe anything I said about AT&T, stating that "With over a million iPhone customers, you're wrong." Then he had the nerve to block me from ever contacting him on that site again. What is wrong with some people? Is the lack of intelligence so overwhelming in America that people are more comfortable believing total nonsense then the actual truth? He refused to believe that AT&T was ever involved with radio, he also refused to do the research and read the same books that I'm going to recommend to you all in this blog post.

These are two really great books, which detail the history of broadcasting very well. They are also reasonably priced, so there is no reason not to pick them up if you are interested in why I dislike AT&T. One is called The Television History Book and the other is Television Industries. Although they are titled for Television, they deal with all of the broadcasting media of the early years, including radio.



Look for the points in the books that detail AT&T and their involvement with radio, how it used to be free until AT&T stepped in and started charging; and how the government had to step in and force AT&T to leave, so radio could go back to being free (which is still to this day is free for over-the-air AM and FM).

Read about the business practices and ethics of AT&T before you again ask someone "why do you dislike AT&T?"
