Wasting Paper Much?

A local AT&T iPhone customer was one of the first to receive her first phone bill. Surprisingly, it came up to a lot more than just a bill! PITTSBURGH -- Apple’s iPhones are all the rage, but their customers aren’t too happy about the size of the first service bills from AT&T. One Pittsburgh woman, Justine Ezarik, received her first bill on Saturday.She said it was so large – 300 pages – it was delivered in a box. Ezarik's story grabbed national attention after she posted a video on YouTube. zarik told USA Today, “This is so silly. There is no reason they need to send you this much information.” hannel 11’s Andy Gastmeyer met with Ezarik, who has a Web page with a live camera, to discuss the bill. Gastmeyer was surprised to learn his interview was being shown live online. Channel 11 called AT&T to get their response.
They said that customers have three bill options and they don't have to select one with all of the detail, which would save paper.

Although they have an option, VIEWING THE DETAIL would be a stupid option for the environment and I think that all tree huggers would be furious! The fact that they can view every little detail online is what frustrates me. I have an iPhone and I was worried to see a ATT box in my mailbox!
