Tech heavyweights continue to gradually coalesce behind Apple, voicing support for the company's defiance of a judge's order to help the FBI hack an iPhone linked to December's San Bernardino shootings. But major U.S. wireless service providers still aren't backing Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) CEO Tim Cook....
Similarly, mobile network operators were silent in 2013 when a slew of tech giants including Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo sent a letter to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee urging them to reform NSA surveillance policies and practices.
AT&T (NYSE: T) CEO Randall Stephenson last month publicly opposed Cook's open position against creating "backdoors" for hacking specifically for law enforcement and surveillance purposes. "I don't think it is Silicon Valley's decision to make about whether encryption is the right thing to do," Stephenson said.
