Research on accounting restatements by telecom companies?

Question

Is there any research or write-up available specifying the type of accounting errors or restatements done by telecommunication companies over the years in their public filings or accounts? I am particularly interested in restatements done by fixed (wireline) companies like AT&T, MCI, Verizon etc. Many thanks.
