b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 The Federal Communications Commission said Wednesday it plans to fine AT&T,
the nation's second-largest wireless carrier, $100 million for misleading
customers about "unlimited" data plans. The commission said an investigation
revealed that AT&T severely slowed down, or "throttled," the data speeds
for customers with such plans without telling them.
"Consumers deserve to get what they pay for," FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said
in a statement. "Broadband providers must be upfront and transparent about
the services they provide. The FCC will not stand idly by while consumers
are deceived by misleading marketing materials and insufficient disclosure."
AT&T said it will "vigorously dispute" the decision. "The FCC has
specifically identified this practice as a legitimate and reasonable way to
manage network resources for the benefit of all customers and has known for
years that all of the major carriers use it," the company said in a
statement. "We have been fully transparent with our customers, providing
notice in multiple ways and going well beyond the FCC's disclosure
requirements." | s*****r 发帖数: 11545 | 2 This fucking company even does the same to DSL service. If it can live up to
its promise in wireless, even pigs can climb trees. | T*U 发帖数: 22634 | 3 政府终于干了件人事
