Will Operation Chokehold Succeed?





If you haven’t heard lately, the Fake Steve Jobs has encouraged iPhone users to issue a stand against At&t by using the most data-intensive apps they can for an hour, starting at noon PST today (Friday, 12/18/09). Their goal is to bring down At&t’s network to send a message that they’re tired of “substandard” network performance and abusive comments towards iPhone users. At&t has hinted at charging data-heavy users extra because 3% of smartphone users are consuming nearly 40% of the wireless bandwidth in the country.
The engineers have asked me to serve as a kind of communications director for their efforts — soliciting ideas on what apps to use (Pandora may not be the best) and how to refine the attack on the network.
If anyone has ideas, use the comment strings. Tell your friends. Get people involved. We have five days to create a movement and plan a major assault. As the Portuguese said during the Obama campaign: Si, se puede.
So what is your opinion? Will Operation Chokehold succeed or fail? Since I’m an At&t user, I will be able to test the network in the west Chicago suburbs during this hour and report back on internet speeds, abilities to make calls, etc.
Someone even made a Facebook FanPage and an Event Page!
Since timezones can confuse some:
12 noon Pacific time
1PM Mountain time
2PM Central time
3PM Eastern time
