This is the second time on record that AT&T is

This is the second time on record that AT&T is shutting down its internet service. In September, AT&T shut down the internet service of more than 1,000 customers who accused it of using it to send a malicious email to and from friends, calling them "evil pirates" and saying that it "believes in free speech."

It's not the first time AT&T has rolled back internet service and throttled its own internet service. In February, Verizon shut down Verizon's internet service after customers accused the company of using the service to send emails to and from friends.

The U.S. Department of Justice is also looking into the story. In September, the Department of Justice said that the company had made an "intentional and grossly negligent violation of the copyright rights of users of its internet service through its use of 'Piracy Unlimited,'" which allows users to access sites or apps in a way that infringes copyright without paying a fee.

AT&T is also not the only company to be taking steps to curb its online piracy. On Sunday, Verizon announced that it was terminating all service for three months after customers complained about its use of its service to send spam emails and other spammy, spammy and spammy spam.WASHINGTON—It was a chilly January morning in a quiet community of farmers in the small town of Shale, Iowa, in the Midwest. About 200 miles northeast of Des Moines, nearly 500 farmers and ranchers gather at the site of a famous cattle ranch known as the Saginaw Valley, a place that was once known as "the cattle capital of the world."

A few miles away, a few miles from the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the largest farm in the country, the small village of Shale, near the U.S. border with Mexico and a few miles to the southwest, is the site of the largest dairy processing facility in the country.

The dairy processing plant has been the hub of a major industry in the United States for more than 100 years, and Shale is the nation's largest producer of cows and calves. A year ago, the United States exported more than 100 million pounds of milk to Mexico, and the country is the country's only major dairy producer.
