What amazes me about this 'news' is that anyone actually believes executives from ATT were monitoring the concert and either knew in advance when to cut the sound, or were so fast on the ball they cut it in time to do any censoring.
Whoever was providing the live audio feed almost certainly knew when to cut the lyrics. That is because the sound levels, balances, etc., would have been adjusted during the sound check phase prior to the actual performance. It is almost a certainty that Pearl Jam ran through that song in question during the sound check because the band was inserting those new lyrics, specially written for that concert, into their rendition of a Pink Floyd song, "Another Brick in the Wall." The audio engineers for the AT&T internet feed would have heard those lyrics during the sound check rehearsal, and thus would have known exactly when to cut the audio during the actual performance. I am also sure that the engineers on site did not make the decision to cut those lyrics. You can bet that someone else higher up the chain, an executive, made the decision.
