Fake Steve Jobs has had enough ofAT&Tand their “bastardly behavior over bandwidth usage” and so is launching a crowd-sourced, flash-mobbed, Rickson Gracie-style assault on their network called “Operation Chokehold“:

Subject: Operation Chokehold

On Friday, December 18, at noon Pacific time, we will attempt to overwhelm the AT&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 for one 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 a digital flash mob. We’re calling it in Operation Chokehold. Join us and speak truth to power!

TiPb commented on Fake Steve’sprevious, glorious AT&T flamefestand Ralph de la Vega’sstatementsthat lit the latest match in this particular powder keg.

Let us know how you feel about Operation Chokehold in the comments. Are you warming up YouTube, standing next to a cell tower, and just waiting to press “play”? Or is it just kicking a network when it’s (quite often) down at this point?
