AT&T bans use of 3G networks for peer - to - peer file sharing (US)AT&T’s 3G bandwagon will not include peer-to-peer downloading and AT&T bans the use of 3G networks for P2P file sharing and told an FCC official that anyone caught with their hands the P-2-P cookie jar will be terminated, reported MultiChannel News.
AT&T’s terms of service for mobile wireless broadband customers prohibit all uses that may cause extreme network capacity issues, and explicitly identify P2P file sharing applications as such a use. Under these terms of service, which are similar to those of other wireless providers, use of a P2P file sharing application would constitute a material breach of contract for which the user’s service could be terminated.
First AT&T warns customers in writing that their relationship is in jeopardy for using banned P2P apps.
