How one might take action at this time.
First, I would and am creating a set of index cards much like an outline for writing a non-fiction report. On each card I am identifying a fact, a date, a news story, and any other point relevant to supporting a complaint that an 'unfair or anti-competitive' business practice was carried out. I am also focused on how these actions cost myself, others, and consumers by the resulting negative financial impacts.
I will then sort those index cards in order and prepare to write my review to submit to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Submission can be done in several different ways - 1.) through a lawyer who may improve upon the information presentation; 2.) through a phone call to a representative at the FTC for guidance at 877-382-4357 M-F 9 a.m. thru 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time; 3.) through your congressional representative either in the House or the Senate; or at this FTC complaint submission assistant website, where you can enter details by copying off references you prepared on your index card notes:
Choose Other after reading their "How We Handle Your Info" in the lower section of the webpage, if you feel comfortable with making your complaint in an online setting.
I am not a lawyer nor can I give you advice on how this process might work out either in a positive or negative manner. However, I personally think it is a good avenue, and I will attempt to draw attention to other currently ongoing investigations of any emails or other matters related to AT&T payments to Michael Cohen, FCC lobbying, the 2011 stoppage of customer relationships by AT&T and T-Mobile in doing business with Fibertower that resulted in drastic stock market losses and eventual bankruptcy proceedings to save spectrum licenses that now eventually and largely have gone to AT&T as a factual result of those business consequences, not by accident or unforeseeable measures.
It is interesting that AT&T and T-Mobile were attempting a merger during the same time period in 2011 that they both cut business against Fibertower, but although their merger was blocked by the FTC, AT&T did not appear to lose interest in acquiring Fibertower and obtaining transfers to as much of Fibertower licensed spectrum as they could in the chaos created there.
See my other posts about the role of Douglas Brandon and Akin Gump, First Frontier Bank. Also, my index cards note Fibertower headquarters is located in California and the company was incorporated in Delaware (I believe), yet they chose to file bankruptcy in Texas where AT&T has headquarters.
How many ways can this be seen as intentional 'unfair business practices' regardless of how long it took the acting parties to pull it off by manipulating the machinery of the process, and then yet where is today the SEC reporting still grinding along? Who got a golden parachute, who are the executives of the new subsidiary of AT&T, what was the full price paid? Exactly why was it required to dump the common shareholders when all along the public knowledge was that the spectrum was a valuable ever renewable resource in which common shareholders were invested and willing to await the continued usage thereof in a long term view?
What changed? It was 'unfair business practice', the destruction of Fibertower as it was known and then converted to a 'subsidiary' of the previous customer now owner - AT&T, the business that brought about the transformation, with Fibertower management.
