		<description><![CDATA[With telecom immunity for warantless wiretapping quite done, AT&#038;T and the other complicit telecom companies have nothing to fear from a legal perspective.
Still, these are publicly-traded companies.  The executives of these companies have a legal obligation to maximize the value/return of their investors.  Why aren&#8217;t we threatening to jump ship from our service providers unless [...]]]></description>
