I'm a former Oracle employee. I was told, specifically and without question that I was legitimately able to continue to use the AT&T Oracle FAN corporate discount program after I was no longer an employee. I have had that discount for the past 11yrs, until last month. I think I am being screwed by AT&T. Could a current Oracle employee reply to this post with the specific details of the current A&T corporate discount program? Think it was 23% on services. Please past the terms here.Thx
