I'd like to think that most independent operators avoided the ILEC at all costs due to them being difficult to work with, but every now and then you get one that loves to be with the ILEC.

My reaction would have been to call local mayor, mayor in twon where you
try to setup the microwave base, and then if that fails FEMA and tell
them that you can restore Internet but AT&T is blocking you. They would
have the means to give a call to ATT and get them to stop blocking you.
This is an emergency and AT&T would look very very bad if this were to
become public.
