On Monday, Sen. Amy Klobuchar joined three other Commerce Committtee members in urging the Federal Communications Commission to reconsider exclusivity agreements among cellphone manufacturers and phone companies. “Translation” — writes Boing Boing Gadgets — “Should AT&T be the only carrier that gets to sell the iPhone?“

The Xcel Energy Center might be the home of the Republican Nation Convention next week. But the RNC should have the its own sign plastered over the Xcel that says “brought to you by AT&T.” The Texas-based company’s PAC is the Republican party’s biggest donor, shelling out more than $1.3 million for Republican campaigns this year alone, according to campaign finance reports. And more than $168,000 of that has gone directly to the campaign for John McCain, whom AT&T has strongly supported and vice versa.
