The literature on corporate political activity has become robust in the last decade as scholars model the antecedents to, as well as the results of, for‐profit firms political strategies. The literature lacks, however, a practical guide to the specific activities that firms undertake in order to compete in such a manner. This case study follows the political activities at AT&T from 2000 to 2012 in the United States in order to clarify these specific activities. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
