Can you elaborate on the source of this information? Was it contained in
the "continued use of this service constitutes agreement with all new terms
and conditions" mail sent to (former) subscribers?
Do you have a sense of what "copy and distribution rights" means, in the
context of "content passing *out* of their network"? It seems that would
cover all throughput, since it does not necessarily imply "originating in"
their network. Does it imply that any content they host for you (your
"personal" webspace) becomes theirs to copy and re-distribute at
will? What about emails you send? What about content you receive through
a passworded account with your stock broker?
If I re-establish with them (questionable at this point) I must make an
effort to post MBytes of random numbers on a regular basis.
And what does "not having services on computers in *their* network" mean?
Does it mean "I may not run a gnutella server on *my* personal computer"?
Sounds like they want to turn PCs into glorified TV sets.

I'm glad I disconnected the modem soon after it went "dark" (about 2 AM
Saturday), and have not reconnected since, just to avoid such glitches when
crossovers occur. Also avoids being held "in agreement" to their new
terms, perhaps.
Looking into "DirecPC" satellite, although at (best) 400K Baud, it is still
only 25% peak cable speeds, and small upload delays due to satellite
distance makes its use problematic for real-time response applications.
Perhaps AT&T will buy Microsoft next ... or the Justice Dept.
