Mother's Day Texting Surges: 3 Texts Per Call on AT&T Network

A new AT&T study analyzing Mother's Day activity on its network found that 75% of users texted their moms, with about three texts sent for every one phone call. The data, drawn from Mother's Day 2025 activity, shows Houston, San Antonio, and Chicago as the top cities for reaching out, and notes that Gen Z is the most likely to text daily. The study suggests texting has become a quick, personal way families stay connected on Mother’s Day.

Whistleblower Reveals NSA's Secret Internet Tap in AT&T Building

Mark Klein, a former AT&T technician, provided the Electronic Frontier Foundation with evidence that the NSA was secretly tapping the U.S. internet backbone from an AT&T facility (641A) on Folsom Street, creating a copy of traffic for the NSA. This post-9/11 revelation — prompted by Patriot Act changes that blurred the line between foreign and domestic surveillance — became pivotal in the Hepting v. AT&T case and underscored the legal and privacy battles over mass surveillance. The disclosure helped push a legal challenge against the program and highlighted the challenges of handling potentially sensitive information in court.

Court weighs whether FCC fines are nonbinding without a jury

Court weighs whether FCC fines are nonbinding without a jury

During oral arguments, Supreme Court justices questioned AT&T and Verizon’s claim that FCC forfeitures violate the Seventh Amendment, noting carriers could have sought a jury trial by declining to pay and letting enforcement proceed in court. The government argued the forfeiture orders function like indictments and are enforceable only after a jury trial, though justices suggested the penalties may be nonbinding until court review. Even if AT&T and Verizon lose, the case could clarify that FCC fines are nonbinding and require a separate court decision to enforce, affecting how the agency enforces privacy and telecom rules.
