AT&T retracts new terms of service, apologizes

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.

Looks like they didn't change everything back -- just a single bit that describes what Sling does. The rest of the things are still not allowed.

This is great news. I thought AT&T was going the way of Time Warner Cable's Road Runner, who's forty gigabyte per month data transfer caps on it's highest tier will soon begin a mass exodus of TWC customers. Everest (SureWest), AT&T Uverse, and Comcast, here we come!
