Here Come Class Action Lawsuits Against Wireless Carriers
from the have-you-ever-been-upset-with-your-carrier?--sue-away dept
Admittedly, wireless carriers are notorious for their poor service. However, with the advent of number portability, one would hope that a little competition should help to solve many of those problems. However, why wait for the market when you can sue? It looks like some groups are trying to come up with just about any excuse to file a class action lawsuit against mobile phone service providers. Now, I'm no fan of most of the wireless carriers - who I think have done a terrible job providing service to their customers and who are often misleading and downright sneaky in what they do. However, I also don't think bogus class action lawsuits help the situation much either.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
