Well, I cannot say I&#8217;m in favor of the idea because I KNOW AT&amp;T is quite aware of the limitations of their network, of which Ralph de la Vega, president and chief executive for  mobility and consumer markets has admitted as much, and further more, how is this going to affect anything?\u00a0 Great, we bring the system &#8216;down to its knees&#8217; for a few hours. AT&amp;T feel worse &#8230; and that is about it.\u00a0 No value.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there is a counter movement that I WILL participate in; <a href=\"http:\/\/thedigitallifestyle.tv\/home\/2009\/12\/16\/operation-feedback-a-sensible-alternative-to-operation-choke.html\" target=\"_blank\">Operation Feedback<\/a>. I found out about this through the press release channel and it makes sense.\u00a0 Instead of a DNS attack on AT&amp;T, we should instead use the iphone app <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=K1ZY2TgaJYY&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fat-t-mark-the-spot%252Fid338307313%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">Mark The Spot app<\/a> (by AT&amp;T funny enough) to report every instance of any dropped call or interruption, an purposely go out of our way to find our well, and not so well known dead points.\u00a0 This makes more sense from proactive point of view.\u00a0 Not only can we &#8216;make noise&#8217; about the weak service from AT&amp;T, but we can actually help in trying to improve the service.\u00a0 If AT&amp;T suddenly got lots of information about dropped calls, perhaps they may be able to improve the situation. (if only somewhat).
