of note to the blogosphere.
AT&T is the NUMBER ONE corporate PAC contributor, and one of only 2 corporations on this list:

They have already given nearly $1.7 million.
Further research shows that:
The NCTA (industry group) has given $1,048,444
Verizon has given $1,010,700
BellSouth has given 686,850
and Qwest has given 384,702.
Almost $4 million total. Already. The price paid for destroying Net Neutrality. Oh, and the $1 million SBC (AT&T) gave Bobby Rush's charity.
