Goal

To convey, via civil and technological disobedience, the message that AT&T should focus on improving and expanding the capabilities of their infrastructure rather than exploring methods of “incentivizing” users to not use the device for the reason they purchased it.

Background

On June 29, 2007, Apple, in coordination with AT&T launched the iPhone, a profoundly game changing cellular device. A runaway success for both companies, the device went on to spur fresh development in the then-stagnating cellular product world. However, the rampant popularity of the iPhone has proved too much for the sole carrier of the device in the US, AT&T. The CEO of the company in a recent interview made remarks indicating a possible plan to encourage users to use less data (through fees and rate hikes) rather than improving the network to accommodate the increased popularity of the device. This has been deemed unacceptable.

Operation Details

Between 1200 and 1300 PST, all iPhone owners are to ensure they’re not using a wi-fi connection and, for the entire hour, use the most intensive data applications available, such as video streaming or emailing large files. This will create a heavy load on AT&T’s data network, sending a message to the service provider that they should be focused on upgrading their service rather than penalizing customers for wanting to use the service they already pay a high fee to use.
