Finally, under orders from the FTC (Federal Trade Commission), AT&T is offering stand-alone broadband service ($20 a mo.) to people who don't want to pay AT&T's ridiculous bundled rates. But as this article from the San Francisco Chronicle shows, consumer advocates, including UCAN's Michael Shames, are underwhelmed by AT&T's latest effort.
