We have news from TechCrunch of Yahoo cutting support for users with certain AT&T owned domains accessing Yahoo websites. To ensure continued access for Yahoo sites, users will need to update their registered email address with a different domain or create a Yahoo ID. With the Verizon acquisition, a new Oath brand was launched with both Yahoo and AOL under the media branding while still retaining their names . Since I’m sure most of us act as personal IT support for friends and family, this will be a huge pain in the next coming week and future. Hit the link for a full list of sites affected by the change.



The following are domains losing access:
att.net, ameritech.net, bellsouth.net, flash.net, nvbell.net, pacbell.net, prodigy.net, sbcglobal.net, snet.net, swbell.net, and wans.net.

Users can transfer account data to a Yahoo ID for the following sites:


Flickr
Fantasy
Baseball
Fantasy Basketball
Fantasy Football
Fantasy Hockey
Yahoo Groups
Tumblr



To change your registered email address, take the following steps:


In a web browser, click “Settings” under the account menu at the top of the dashboard (looks like a person’s silhouette).
To the right of your email address, click the pencil icon.
Update the email address and confirm your password.
Save your changes.



The move provoked some uproar among net neutrality advocates, but it seems to be less about creating walled gardens and more about cleaning up prior commitments and pre-existing partnerships.
