Thank you for voicing this despite the downvotes. I don't think it's the most likely scenario, but it hurts to see how harshly people on HN reject speculation about other paths of possibility than the most obvious, especially considering AT&T's history. Never forget: "NSA documents show that the relationship with AT&T has been considered unique and especially productive. One document described it as 'highly collaborative', while another lauded the company’s 'extreme willingness to help'."
