I am glad that the EFF took action against this. I had heard about this in passing a little while ago and I was outraged. Because they did this I will never purchase product from at&t and I will suggest anyone that I know to do the same. This is absolutely un-forgivable. The fact that they opened up their database of call logs to the NSA really scares me. If the NSA can wield that much power there is something wrong. This company needs to get a little more backbone I think. Its not like the NSA had specific records that they wanted to get, no, they got access to the whole 312 terabytes of information. 312 TERABYTES. ATT gave them access to almost EVERY call since 2001. Come on ATT, don't be a wimp, stand up for your customers.
