I got a postcard in the mail yesterday from ATT. The bottom line: ATT collects info on what equipment you have and "how you use it." This includes info on VOIP services (If you use this, you know what this means, otherwise, think SKYPE as a kind of VOIP.) Then they sell this info to others so they can target ads to you, by mail, phone, email, etc. They postcard says they don't include your telephone number, your name, or address, but the wording is a little confusing because elsewhere in the postcard it talks about using your information to offer you additional products and services.
So, I recommend going to http://www.att.com/ecpnioptout and fill out the form to opt out. Otherwise, no response and you've "opted in."
