FCC Reaches Record-Breaking Settlement with Verizon over Mystery Fees
Verizon Wireless reached a record-breaking settlement with the Federal Communication Commission over "mystery fees" charged to its cell phone customers. Verizon agreed to make a $25 million payment to the U.S. Treasury, and to promptly refund a minimum of $52.8 million to about 15 million customers.

I don;t see Verizon holding on too much longer. I was a customer of theirs for several years and left because of their constant price increases.
At one time nearly everyone I knew was with them too. Today, no one I know is a customer.

Wow...a $4 payment to each of 15 million customers - bad economy solved.

I would guess Verizon will "hold on" just fine. Largest carrier in USA, and fastest growing.

Maybe I should change over to Verizon...$4...woohoo..

I'll never go back to ATT.

The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs. I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator.
