While I love 4chan and Anon, taking on the likes of AT&T - a hundred-billion-dollar corporation with ties to the NSA - might be just a little different than humiliating, say, Adam Goldstein. Government or the en masse consuming public are the only ones with any say here.

On another note - anyone remember the good old days when claiming AT&T had NSA ties would be dismissed as a conspiracy theory? Oh, how innocent we were ...

My guess is they won't try and take on the company directly. After all, you can't DDoS AT&T. But they can definitely make life pretty crappy for the people running AT&T with endless pranks, and they can raise a royal stink in the news.

What I don't get is why bother? The /b/tards are just going to make some other place their home.
