   Theodore Marcus left AT&T after he came to believe the telecom giant   
   was ignoring the rules of E-Rate, a federal program that offers   
   low-priced phone and Internet service to schools based on need   
      
   By Laura Meckler and Douglas MacMillan   
      
   Theodore Marcus once was an in-house lawyer for AT&T, tasked with   
   reviewing whether the telecom giant was overcharging schools and   
   libraries for Internet and telephone service.   
      
   Marcus came to believe that AT&T did not charge low prices required by   
   law, misled the government about its compliance with the rules of a   
   federal program and then rebuffed his concerns. A few months before he   
   left AT&T, Marcus handed what he thought was damning information to a   
   lawyer suing the company, with the expectation that he might share in   
   the payout if the suit was victorious.
