AT&T forbids video streaming, filesharing, data tethering in new TOS

[BigDiesel07]

As found here, AT&T is tweaking their Terms of Service (TOS) to make it explicitly clear that Video Streaming, File Sharing, and Data Tethering are strictly forbidden...

They're ATT, no one will drop them. iPhone + "best network" = HAHAHAH from the ATT execs.

You know, I spoke to an AT&T CSR yesterday about tethering to my Tilt to my Netbook. She said there was not a problem since I have an unlimited data plan. How are they going to enforce this? My Tilt uploads 200MB+ every morning backing up my MiniSD and phone. Its within the TOS.

BTW: This was posted from the above mentioned Tilt tethereed to the above mentioned Netbook.

Looks like the uproar over AT&T's recently-tweaked wireless terms of service banning video streaming and p2p activity caused some hasty rethinking in Dallas -- the company just sent us this statement:

The language added on March 30 to AT&T's wireless data service Terms and Conditions was done in error. It was brought to our attention and we have since removed it. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Well, that settles that, at least for now -- high fives all around, Internet friends.
