AT&T reverse course on terms of service

Pa Bell writes: AT&T relented and will change language of its controversial Terms of Service, just one week after saying it wouldn't change the language. '"We are revising the terms of service to clarify our intent, and the language in question will be revised to reflect AT&T's respect for our customers' right to express opinions and concerns over any matter they wish," an AT&T spokesperson said. "We will also make clear that we do not terminate service because a customer expresses their opinion about AT&T." When asked about a hypothetical future situation in which a subscriber might criticize AT&T, the spokesman said that AT&T's record in this department speaks for itself, as the company claims to have never terminated a subscriber's account as a result of criticism aimed at the company. "We have never and will never terminate a customer's service for criticizing AT&T," the spokesperson promised.'
