Verizon To Pay $1 Million As Settlement

Verizon had to loosen its purse strings as the case of the limited "unlimited" EVDO was finally settled. Verizon will fork out $1 million to its customers whose services were terminated for  overuse of its high-speed data service which Verizon has marketed as “unlimited”.

"This settlement sends a message to companies large and small answering the growing consumer demand for wireless services. When consumers are promised an 'unlimited' service, they do not expect the promise to be broken by hidden limitations," said Attorney General Andrew Cuomo in a statement. "Consumers must be treated fairly and honestly. Delivering a product is simply not enough—the promises must be delivered as well."
