Is this news on wiretapping?

I admit I haven't kept up on all the ins and outs of the wiretapping court cases, but to me, this is news.

One, a class action against AT&T, focuses mainly on accusations that the company provided the N.S.A. its customers’ phone and Internet communications for a vast data-mining operation. The lawyers in the AT&T case call that program, which the government has not acknowledged, a “content dragnet.”

I think this is the "closets" that AT&T allowed the NSA to operate in its switching offices, but did we know that AT&T had backhandedly confirmed the massive warrantless collection of "content?"
