I was just reading about Operation Chokehold, which is Fake Steve's Job's with a fake Denial of Service protest.

"On Friday, December 18, at noon Pacific time, we will attempt to overwhelm theAT&T data network and bring it to its knees. The goal is to have every iPhone user (or as many as we can) turn on a data intensive app and run that app forone solid hour. Send the message to AT&T that we are sick of their substandard network and sick of their abusive comments. The idea is we'll create adigital flash mob. We're calling it in Operation Chokehold. Join us and speak truth to power!"
Basically, he's telling people to get together to overload AT&T's system in San Fran and NY by doing a LOT of audio (Pandora, etc.) and video(Youtube) streaming. Is the service that bad?
