AT&T/Big Telecom set to lobby Congress about your "privacy"
http://j.mp/112cWqw (Truth Out)
"Dubbed the 21st Century Privacy Coalition, the group will
represent AT&T, Verizon, DirectTV, Comcast, Time Warner Cable
and CITA-The Wireless Association. The group is led by Jon
Leibowitz, the recently departed chairman of the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) and former lobbyist, and former Rep. Mary
Bono Mack, a California Republican who raked in thousands of
dollars of donations from the telecom industry before leaving
Congress last year."

Big Telecom -- which has been silent about NSA spying -- plans to
lobby on privacy issues. // Quote: "AT&T launching a privacy coalition is like
Ted Nugent launching a 'wildlife coalition.'"
