More than 55,500 people, including over 15,500 AT&T customers, signed a petition supporting a shareholder proxy (http://1.usa.gov/1mIUNK5) urging AT&T to disclose contributions to the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), said SumOfUs.org. The proxy will be presented at Friday’s AT&T annual shareholder meeting, said SumOfUs.org, a global corporate watchdog organization that began the petition. ALEC has backed efforts around the country to deregulate telecom and to make it more difficult for municipalities to create broadband networks, the group said.
