Guess where Verizon is gonna get the $7,400,000? Are you a Verizon customer?

How come no one goes to jail for shenanigans like this? Is violating a FCC regulation not a crime?

> Under the settlement’s terms, Verizon will be required to include opt-out notices on every bill—not just the first bill—and to be monitored to ensure that customers are receiving proper notices of their privacy rights, the FCC said.

If you autopay, then you don’t get a bill.

Got tired of playing the Verizon games with extra charges which they sneaked in here and there. I cancelled the contract and bought one of those pay as you go phones for when I am on the road.

It is amazing how little I miss it.

A ringing cell phone is as disruptive to my life as an alarm clock which goes off at 3 am.

Nobody apparently sees the absolute iron fist of the federal government here.

Is this a DU thread?

So, what DemocRat slush fund will be the recipient of this money? I'm sure Eric Holder has it earmarked for The Orgs Formerly Known as ACORN.
