If AT&T and Yahoo are partners, why can't they act like it? Outsourcing?
"Must be escalated?" Note: the key here is probably the following "Thus, we only provide basic information related to AT&T Yahoo! Services. Any issues related to Yahoo! that could not be resolved shouldfrom our end and must be escalated to Yahoo!'s Technical Support Department"
Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...
