It's _not_ an internet standard, never has been, and never will be.
You need to convince AT&T of that, which may not be easy (there is
_no_ good reason for blanket crossposting restrictions like that - it
has very little impact on the amount of spam, most of which is posted
to three groups or less; it's not strict enough to reduce the effects
of crosspost-trolling; the largest effect it has is to kill off
legitimate announcement posts, FAQs, and administrative messages such
as RFDs and CFVs).
